WELCOME! *Please read shop policies before ordering*

About the work: Ornaments, cuffs, coasters, trivets and buckle-works are NOT sublimation/machine made. Each is individually made by hand, one at a time over several days. We do not use kits, stickers, bezels, "doming resin" or molds; each template used is one we have created and refined after years of experience utilizing often well-used charts from decades past.

We ship daily (weather-permitting) Monday- Saturday via USPS- and often sooner than the shipping profiles indicate.

Buckles, ornaments & tiles are finished with resin.

Beaded gemstone pieces use amethyst, chalcedony (jasper variations), lapis, obsidian, tiger eye and malachite; fair-trade certified paper and Kazuri beads, hand-painted wooden beads; sterling silver.

Lots of vintage charts....

Shop members

  • MH Coleman

    Owner, Maker

    I'm a 12th generation New Englander, collector of vintage charts & maps, specializing in the New England coast. I work full-time at creating and executing designs each of which is hand-made (not sublimation-processed) over a period of days.

Production partners

  • American Underwater Search & Survey

    Cataumet, MA

    Fun fact: AUSS located long-sunken wrecks of the SS Portland and the Schooner Wyoming in the New England waters during the last quarter of 20th century. We have the use of many of their old charts.

Frequently asked questions

Sizing details

Standard cuffs are 6 inches long and come in four widths.

Petite Adult cuffs are 5 inches long and may be available in ¾ and 1 inch widths. Petite cuffs generally fit 9 year olds to petite adults.

Tiny cuffs are 4 inches long and come in 1 inch width only.

We use a light enough gauge metal base so that buyer can adjust to comfort.

Custom and personalized orders

We love custom orders but our time is very limited for designing new templates. If your request consists of places we have on file then we are happy to accommodate as a "special" order.

Generally speaking- we will send you images of possibilities (up to five) until you find the template image (in cuff, tile, buckle or ornament) you love!

Gift wrapping and packaging

If you order an item as a gift with a message, we will send you an image of the item and message as packaged prior to shipping.

If you order an ornament or tile boxed, we ribbon-tie the box so that it opens easily.

We can gift-box most items; 2" cuffs may not be boxed but we can enclose a folded box if requested.

Our outer packaging is usually a secure, sealed, poly-padded pouch.

Care instructions

Cuffs are water-resistant but not waterproof. We suggest that you care for your cuff as you do any fine jewelry.

Wholesale availability

General: We welcome wholesale orders to brick & mortar with a minimum order.

Lead time: Depending upon quantity, complexity and type of item ordered, our 2023 lead time runs anywhere between 14 days (cards) - 21 days (cuffs) to 60 days (resin products).

Chart templates: We often use vintage charts and can work closely with you to finalize the template(s) which best suit your needs. Map templates also available.

Shipping: We will calculate your USPS shipping cost included in invoice.
