Hand Stamped Metal Cuff Rings

Hi All!

The shop is up and running but I've only posted my macrame bracelets. I have not posted my hand-stamped jewelry just yet because I am awaiting a shipment of silk ribbons for my ribbon wrap stamped bracelets.

I also ordered a new font set for hand stamping jewelry so I'm excited for that to come in!

Since I've been experimenting with hand stamping metal jewelry and have been successful in selling bracelets and keepsake necklaces, I decided to try out rings. I had been hesitant about them because I wasn't sure I loved the idea of a cuff ring (open back, not soldered). But I've learned to try things out before judging them from a photo so I ordered some ring blanks and stamped away.

I ordered 3 width sizes for the medium sized ring. The medium covers fingers measuring 6-8 in size. Because the backing of the ring is open like this:

...it is easier to adjust the ring! On good days when I'm not so bloated, I can close the gap of the ring...and on days like TODAY when I've indulged all week in rich birthday dinner celebrations, well...that's another story! Ha! :-)

Thank goodness for the adjustment feature.

Each ring width was nice to work with but I think my favorite is the thickest width, 1/2 inch, because I could add longer phrases to the ring. All of them are great and I wear them out, one at a time, or two at a time, especially when my wedding ring can't fit. Bad, I know.

I am ordering more ring sizes for Small and Large fingers and then I will offer them on my Etsy shop, Fanciful Wish I won't carry many in stock since I have other stamped jewelry to sell as well so check them out once I post them. Yes, I do custom orders in case you want something specific on the ring. Just let me know!

Thanks for reading and enjoy your weekend!
Xoxo,
Yolanda

Hand Stamped Metal Jewelry

One of FancifulWish 's best sellers (when I have the time to make them) are my hand stamped metal jewelry. I like the act of pounding a metal stamp into a piece of metal. Maybe it's stress relief? I bought my first kit from Beaducation . And yes I started off with a kit because I didn't know what went into metal stamped jewelry. I would have taken a class from my local jewelry store but I was at home with a newborn with no babysitter, so learning on my own was the way to go. Now I will warn you - making hand stamped jewelry is NOT cheap. You can get away with using a hammer you have at home to pound your letters into your metal but the letters themselves are pricey. I've only managed to collect 5 different types of letters, 3 of them the same font in different size with numbers included. The other a different font in lower and upper case sizes. And then there are punctation stamps and design stamps....not cheap. Alphabet set stamps can run you from $

Beaded Wire Hoop Earrings

I saw a bunch of these online a few months ago and decided to try and make some because I have many left over beads from various bracelet projects. I also LOVE hoop earrings. Plain hoops, silver or gold plated were my favorite accessory to wear and still would be if I didn't have a son who loves to pull jewelry off me. Ow. But I remember rocking hoops since I was in high school! A teacher of mine asked me if it hurt to wear them because I had these real big ones (she said a bird could make a nest in there...HA HA Ms. Kepner). Over the years I've had an obsession with hoops. Thin, thick, rhinestone, plain, large, small. My favorites are big thin hoops. I scoured the internet once more and found a bunch of sites with instructions on how to make wire hoops. I bought some wire and proceeded to make them. I didn't have hoops on hand so I made that part also. It's amazing what a tylenol pill bottle can be used for! Anyway, I tried different sizes and lo

DIY Dream Catcher Bracelet

I had my first Dream Catcher when I was a sophomore in high school. We bought it on a family trip that landed us briefly in Sedona, Arizona. It was maroon suede with feathers and it hung on my bed post so I'd have good dreams at night. I loved that thing. I've been seeing dream catcher bracelets around on the internet so I wanted to make one for myself. I found some tutorials but thought I'd add to the list and make my own. Supplies: * embroidery floss thread or suede lace * metal ring (key chain rings work well) * thinner string like s-lon cord, or 4 ply Irish waxed linen, or even dental floss * small beads * tape (optional) * glue like hypo cement (something that dries clear) I chose a coral thread, brown wax linen for the webbing and a key ring. Choose your colors and start by taking just a little bit of tape and taping down one end of the thread to the ring. Start wrapping your ring with the thread. When you are done wrapping, tie a knot so th
