Personalised jewellery makes the perfect sentimental gift for a loved one, a special memento for a best friend, and a fabulous treat for yourself. We use different personalisation techniques to carefully add your initials, names, and messages and make these pieces personal to you.
In this post we’ll fill you in on all you need to know about the personalisation process, personalisation suggestions and ideas, and a handy FAQ section on your most asked personalisation questions.
Hand stamping is a popular personalisation style that can be used in a variety of ways. This method uses metal stamps (also known as punches) and a hammer to create a struck mark in the metal.
We put an incredible amount of effort and care into stamping your wording onto jewellery, giving your pieces that unique and personal look that only comes with hand-stamping.
We use a set of 3 mm uppercase letter and number stamps for all hand stamped personalisations as they look neater and are easier to read. Each character is individually stamped by hand so they may not be perfectly aligned and there may be variations in depth and spacing but this is part of the piece’s unique charm.
Having trouble thinking of the perfect personalisation? Here are some of our favourite ideas:
“How strict are the character limits? Can I add one or two extra letters?”
The character limits are not set in stone but are there as a guideline. Adding extra characters for items that are engraved will result in the text size being reduced, while adding extra characters for items that are hand stamped may result in your letters being stamped closer together. If purchasing a disc necklace, consider adding the extra letters to additional discs. If unsure, please contact us before you purchase.
“Can you engrave and hand stamp in languages other than English, like Greek or Chinese?”
Hand stamping is unfortunately limited to the English alphabet.
“It looks like hand stamping only comes in capital letters. How do I enter it into the personalisation box?”
Don’t worry about making sure your wording is capitalised. Make sure to check the personalisation guidelines on the listing before entering your text, but our hand stamped jewellery mostly comes in upper case, so regardless of how you type it, your text will be hand stamped in upper case letters. If you would like lower case or sentence case instead, please contact us before you purchase.
“Can you hand stamp symbols?”
Yes! These are the punctuation and symbols we’re able to stamp: ! ? & ( ) , #. We can also stamp a heart outline ♡ and a star outline ☆.
“The back of my stamped charm has some marks on it. Why is this?”
It takes a little bit of force to get the letters clearly stamped onto the surface. Because of this, sometimes marks appear on the other side of the charm. We do our best to remove any marks, but unfortunately, we cannot go any lighter with our stamping. We think the slight marks add even more of a handmade feel!
“Can you create a bespoke/custom personalised piece of jewellery for me?”
Absolutely! We love to make custom pieces! Please contact us and let us know what you’re looking for. Be sure to include specifics such as style, size, colour, etc. We will try our best to give you the personalised piece you’re looking for.
