5 Personalized Hand-Stamped Bracelets and Necklaces

May 23, 2014Fashion & Style, Jewelry, Style GuideHand Stamped Jewelry, JewelryAlicia

I have over a dozen pieces of personalized hand-stamped jewelry that I have collected over the years. I had a necklace made with my son’s initials, when he was a baby, then another necklace with two birds with my husband and mine’s initials, and a bracelet with initial charms for both of my kids. Some of the pieces have since gone missing because Madelyn thinks it’s fun to wear my jewelry and apparently doesn’t understand the importance of putting my stuff away after she borrows it. I will probably find a necklace or two under her mattress one of these days.

Hand-stamped jewelry is a great keepsake for moms. Just don’t let your young kids use it for dress-up. 😉 Many pieces can be customized with a child’s name, initials, birth date, and even a birthstone. Celebrity moms, such as Nicole Richie, have been seen wearing hand-stamped jewelry with their child’s initial or name on it.

Here are three hand-stamped bracelets and three hand-stamped necklaces that I love

1 – Lowercase Typewriter Initial Necklace / $64 at Boticca.com
This necklace is 16″ long and features two charms, each measuring 3/8″ wide. 14k gold-filled chain and charms.

2 – 2 Rectangle Name Tag Necklace / $114+ at Anna Bee Jewelry
This necklace is my favorite of the bunch not just because it was worn by Gwyneth Paltrow.. no.. because it is simple. These pieces can be made with gold, silver, or mixed metals. Each one-of-a-kind piece is handmade including the charms.

3 – sheena is – riveted or pyramid stud bangle / $59 at Three Sisters
This is my favorite hand stamped bracelet.. for now at least. I love it! You can choose from round rivets or pyramid studs. I’d go with the pyramid studs. 🙂

4 – Silver Two Charm Necklace / $70 at Hip Mom Jewelry
This necklace features 2 sterling silver charms and can be accented by birthstones or freshwater pearls.

5 – Love Always Wrap Handstamped Bracelet / $23 on Etsy
While you can’t customize the phrase on this bracelet, what I love about this bracelet is that the stamped piece is held together by leather. You can choose 5 colors of leather.

Do you have a hand-stamped piece of jewelry with your child’s name on it? Where did you get it?

Wear Your Most Memorable Dates With This Calendar Key Charm From Not Just Any Old Day

August 29, 2012Gifts, Jewelry, New posts, PersonalizedAnniversary gift, engraved, heirloom, Jewelry, key, silverAlicia

I am going to surprise my husband with a special gift for our 13th wedding anniversary this year.

November 13th, 2009 is the day my husband and I were married. Our wedding took place in a beautiful historic home in downtown Roswell, GA, surrounded by family and friends.

During the last 13 years, my husband has presented me with many memorable gifts. It’s nearly impossible for me to trump his gift giving skills. For Mother’s Day one year, he wrote me a beautiful letter and framed it with photographs of our kids. Imagine trying to top that gift come Father’s Day?

For our anniversary this November, I can confidently say that I will finally trump him.

I am thrilled to present him with a Not Just Any Old Day..It’s YOUR Special Day® Calendar Key. This beautiful piece of jewelry is an heirloom quality sterling silver key engraved with “November” and our anniversary date is marked with a gorgeous crystal. I know without a doubt that he will treasure this piece for years. Because he is sentimental and will want to see it every day, I think we’ll hang it from a hook next to our mirror in our room.

For wives who’s husbands aren’t quite as sentimental as mine, you can put the key on a necklace chain and wear your favorite date close to your heart.

Actress Tori Spelling has a Not Just Any Old Day necklace with the dates of her first two children Liam and Stella.

Personalized engraving is available.

The chain is sold separately.
