ABOUT ALUMINUM: Aluminum is an excellent metal for hand stamped jewelry. This bright silver metal is just as beautiful as sterling silver but does not tarnish. It is also lightweight, making it perfect for larger necklaces as you won't feel weighed down wearing it all day. Also, aluminum is extremely hypoallergenic (even more so than sterling!) and is perfect for those with metal allergies. To clean aluminum, simply wipe with a soft cloth to remove any fingerprints or body oils that may have accumulated. No chemicals or cleaners are required or recommended. ABOUT HAND STAMPED JEWELRY: Each piece begins as a sheet of raw metal which I cut and shape to form the right base. I then hammer individual metal letters or design stamps into the cut metal, creating impressions of words and designs. The metal then undergoes an extensive finishing process that darkens the impressions while polishing and smoothing the raised areas of the metal. Each piece is truly unique and one-of-a-kind. Because I personally hand stamp each item, there will be slight variations in placement and depth of each stamped image or letter. This is normal and adds to the charm of having a truly unique, handmade piece.
