Announcement    💕Free domestic shipping on orders over $35.00. No coupon code needed!💕
Welcome to my shop! Thank you for stopping by!
Since I lovingly make each piece from scratch when ordered, it takes time to create each piece. I am currently running 7-9 business days (1-2 weeks) until an order is ready to ship. If you have placed an order and are wondering when it will ship, please check the 'estimated ship date' on your receipt under the 'YOU' button.

*Processing time does not include the time it takes to ship.

✨Upgrading to priority shipping does not speed up production time.✨

Here at Galway Designs I specialize in personalized hand stamped pieces and unique rings and hand cast pieces with gemstones you won't find anywhere else!

Look for me on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest for the latest designs:

    Follow your bliss

    I have always been a creative person since I was a small child. As I got older, my interest in art grew and grew. In middle school I won a few state awards for two of my drawings and paintings. I still have my ribbons today! In high school I took as many art classes as I could, so when it came time to choose my major for college it wasn't a hard decision. I was an art major at IPFW for 3 years, but as any artist knows it can be difficult to make a living full-time as just an artist, so I went into property appraising, got my license and worked as a property estimator at an insurance company for 7 years, still doing a little painting, personalized wooden letters, jewelry (just as gifts for close friends at the time), pottery, cakes, etc... I had to get my creative fix in somehow. After the birth of my third child I got restless creatively, so I found myself trying new things pretty often...beaded jewelry, paperweights, resin pieces, glass pendants, still wanting to try my hand at making glass. My husband says I have creative ADD. :)

    While my older brother was cleaning out his garage, he came across my Grandfather's old hand stamping tools. He used these larger stamps to mark his name on his tools, so I thought, why not get some stamps to make personalized necklaces, bracelets, rings, etc... I have always loved personalized gifts. Something that was made just for that one person. So, I bought my first set of tools and the rest is history.

    I have really enjoyed watching my little shop grow into a full-time business. I love what I do! Thank you to all of my past, present, and future customers!

    Additional policies and FAQs
    ★★★If you have the time to leave feedback, it is always greatly appreciated! If you are tempted to leave less than 5 stars, please contact me at my e-mail above or through Etsy and let me know if there is a problem with your order and how I can help. I want all customers to be 100% happy!

    Custom orders and variations are welcome :) If you have something in mind that you do not see in my shop, please message me and we can come up with a special piece.

    ~Since each piece is hand stamped and made by hand, no two pieces will look exactly the same, for example, alignment, spacing, etc... This is the nature of hand stamping and should not be considered a defect, but instead something that makes your jewelry one-of-a-kind.

    ~~~PLEASE READ ABOUT METAL REACTIONS - ESPECIALLY ROSE GOLD~~~
    All of the metals in my shop with the exception of stainless steel and titanium, will tarnish over time. Body chemistry and other factors can vary the rate of tarnish greatly! It is not very common, but some people may have a reaction to rose gold, due to the high copper content in the metal. This may cause a green/black ring on the finger. This reaction is harmless to the skin and may go away with wear. Please read below to see a few tips that may prevent a reaction.
    I include a polish pad with every order, unless you order titanium or stainless.

    Here are a few tips to keep your jewelry looking good:

    Please do not shower or bath in your jewelry, the lettering/patina will fade. The blackened lettering is not permanent at first, especially on sterling silver. Once you wear your item and it starts to naturally tarnish, the lettering will become darkened permanently. If your lettering is starting to fade, A quick fix is to use a Sharpie marker, fill in the lettering, wait a few minutes, apply another coat, then wipe off the excess marker with the white polish that comes with every order. You can do this as many times as you want, until the letters naturally darken.
    Getting your metals wet will also speed up the tarnish. Like any piece of jewelry, handle with care. :)
    If you are having a reaction to the metal, please avoid water, soap, lotion, hand sanitizer etc...


    ***NOTE ABOUT ALL ROSE GOLD RINGS: Rose gold solder contains dangerous chemicals, so I use 14K yellow gold solder to join the ends together, which can sometimes leave a lighter spot on the underside of the ring, that will not be visible when worn since it will be on the opposite side of the stamping. Many customers think their rose gold is coming off when they see this light spot. ~*YOUR ROSE GOLD IS NOT COMING OFF*~ Gold-filled items will NOT chip or flake off like plated gold. This lighter spot should not be considered a flaw, this is part of its natural organic beauty, and a sign of it truly being a handmade ring.
