Adorn yourself in Tags-n-Stones.
by Marian of THE HOUSE OF STYLE
A few days ago I stumbled on the Tags-n-Stones, a gorgeous line of bespoke handmade jewellery. It features an endearing range of necklaces, charm bracelets, key rings, anklets etc .
This line got me all excited as the designs are elegant, chic and intimate with the personalized inscriptions. The designs are handmade by Christine Lee and below she lets us in on Tags-n-Stones.
1. Christine please tell us a bit about Tags-n-stones. What your inspiration for starting it?
After I had my child, I wanted something special to have with his name on it. I came across some nice hand-stamped jewellery sites, but some of them were very pricey. I told myself that I would try making it myself. And that’s exactly how I got started. Pretty soon I was getting steady orders and my business began.
2. What materials do you use in the making of your pieces?
I use all sterling silver, as well as gold-filled materials. I also use freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystals. To hand-stamp, I use two different types of hammers, one to create the hammered look, seen on some of my pieces.
3. How does the personalization of the hand stamped tags work? Are there any limitations to what you can stamp on them?
The only limitations may be space, depending on the size of the tags. I have two sizes of fonts, so I may have to switch to the smaller font to fit something on a tag.
4. Who is the average Tags-n-stones wearer?
I do have lots of mom and grandma customers, who want a memory of their children’s names or birthdates, but I also have customers who like how their one initial looks, or they want a special saying or date stamped on.
5. Finally, what one word describes the line as a whole and how can one place an order?
That is hard to do. Can I use two words and say simply lovely? Or maybe, modern imprint…I can go on and on and never get it right ☺ Place your order by going to http://www.tags-n-stones.com
I do not know about you but I am drawn to these pieces and will be sending in my order shortly!
