No, I do not stamp both sides. Although I use thick, 20 gauge gold filled, sterling silver or rose gold filled charms, stamping on the back can ruin the front of your piece and make your personalization unclear.

If you are unsure of the length of chain you would like, take a piece of string or a soft measuring tape and measure the length around your own neck. You can also take another necklace that you wear often and measure that chain for it's length. Remember, the length of the chain is measured end to end and includes the clasp as well as the charm. To measure the length of a bracelet, measure a bracelet you already have and like the length of, or take a piece of string, wrap it around your wrist (not tightly) and add up to 1 inch, depending on how you want the bracelet to fit and where it will fall on your arm.

To add a charm: Additional charms can be found in the "Add ons & Extras" section of my shop.

Gold-fill is an actual layer of gold, pressure bonded to a base metal. To be called gold-fill, the gold content must be at least 1/20th of the weight of the total piece and it has 100 times more gold than a gold plate item. Gold-fill jewelry is beautiful, affordable, long lasting and tarnish resistant. With proper care, your gold-fill jewelry can last many years. It usually just requires light surface cleaning with an untreated cloth or mild, soapy water. It is also wonderful for people with sensitive skin.

Sterling silver is pure silver mixed with other metal(s) to give it more strength. It is 92.5% pure silver and is considered a precious metal. The remaining 7.5% of the alloy is usually copper, which adds strength while preserving the appearance of pure silver.

When sterling silver is left exposed to airborne compounds of sulfur, black tarnish will slowly start to appear. The good news is solid sterling silver jewelry can easily be polished back up to remove the tarnish and look as good as new. Some tips to slow or prevent tarnishing:

Store your sterling silver in a low-humidity environment.
Keep it clean and dry when not wearing it.
Keep it in an airtight container when not wearing (such as a plastic ziplock bag).

Brass and copper will oxidize and tarnish when exposed to humidity. They should be polished and stored in a plastic bag to keep their shine. Brass should never be worn in water. Brass and copper will naturally take on a patina after time. For either metal, the best solution to shine them back up is with a polishing cloth, which can be purchased at jewelry stores or you can order them online.

Some people with metal sensitivities may experience a green stain on their skin when wearing brass or copper.
