Designing Your Own Custom Pendant or Charm

December 23, 2013

The beauty here is that you get to imagine exactly what you want to customize your charm with your choice of the overall shape, size, colors, materials and finishes. You even have the option of creating your pendant/charm out of precious metals. Submit your existing design or enlist our design team to assist you in perfecting your custom charm. Charms are made from a bronze metal base and plated with your choice of platings, including shiny gold, silver, copper, bronze, pewter or antique versions of them. A jump ring is included so that you can attach it to your charm bracelet, necklace, earring, purse, shoe lace, pet collar, graduation tassel, key ring…you get the idea.

Do I need to be a jewelry designer to make a custom charm?

Why Create Your Own Custom Charm or Pendant?

December 16, 2013

die struck charms

In a world where artisanal product is so easy and prolific, there is no reason why a jewelry designer wouldn’t be custom designing and having their metal pendants and charms made.  Beads and gems can be purchased in bulk, but the defining pieces that set a necklace or bracelet apart as yours, will only come from something you designed and had made yourself.

1.  Branding.  Creating a custom designed piece will have your distinctive voice and style.  It lends recognizeability to everything you make.

2.  Freedom.  Any. You. Want. To. Make.  ANYTHING.  There are no limits here.  Your creativity is the only thing that limits you.  Metals, gemstones, sizes, shapes, etchings, carvings… all of this and more is at your disposal to create pieces that only you can dream up.

3.  Affordability.  It’s more affordable now than ever to have a custom piece made.  Our design team works with you for free to come up with the perfect design in order to have it made.

4.  Efficiency.  Because learning metal smith, and mass producing a small run of 50 pieces takes a lot of time and smart business owners and artisans know that their time is better spent doing the creative visioning.

 

 

Metals: Nickel

Metals used in the creation of charms and pendants can add a huge dimension to what it is you want to convey with your custom piece.  Nickel is cheaper than gold or silver and adds a solid, industrial, hard working and longevity feel to your design.

Our designers are awesome at helping you shape the perfect custom pendant, complete with the voice of the piece using elements such as metals, stones and etchings.

Stone: Amber

Custom Charms gives you the option of using gemstone in your designs.  Every month we will feature a stone, it’s popular significance, and an image of it.  We want to both educate and inspire you in your custom charm creations!

Amber

Technically not a gemstone, this fossilized sap from prehistoric trees, has aged over the course of millions of years. Amber is usually comes in a yellow golden in hue, but amber can also be found in shades of milky white, red-orange, green, black and even violet, though the later is very rare.  Amber is considered a symbol of courage.

For samples of ways to use Amber check out our Pinterest Board.
