Custom Hammered Key Chain & Purse Charms

I am pleased to introduce "Custom Hammered Key Chains & Purse Charms" to my collection. Now available at www.cbdesignstudio.etsy.com

The Custom Sterling Hammered Key Chains and Purse Charms are SASSY and FUN, surely an ideal jewel piece to commemorate a family’s love, a birthday, an anniversary, a wedding date, a new birth or any special event.

This design features a thick (20 gauge) 7/8” sterling silver charm. The circular charm is gently hammered and hand stamped with your custom request.

If requested, I can gently hand stamp on the back side of the hammered design...but only where it has not been hand stamped on the front side.

The backside has a brushed "matte" finish and is gently hand stamped with 925 (sterling silver). Please contact me via 'Etsy Convo' with your special request, and let’s see if it will work.

A one of a kind piece of wearable art whose colour pattern will never be duplicated. The artistry of Patricia’s lampwork is absolutely unbelievable. I am so in love with everything that comes out of VerreDesign’s studios that it’s difficult to choose a favourite, but if pressed, I’d have to say I absolutely love the colours in this “Happy” Bracelet, and this “Zen” set is absolutely stunning!"~Posted on March 30th, 2009 by Beth.
