I was so excited when I was contacted by Joseph Allen Designs to feature their great products on SIMPLE. I love jewelry and anything hand made is precious to me.
The item I received was made with great quality! I have seen many other hand stamped jewelry items in the market place and this one is at the top of my referral list. It looks great on the computer but in person even better!
As I was learning a little about Joseph Allen Designs, I came across his blog. I found one post in particular of GREAT interest. (You can read the whole thing HERE– the giveaway in the link is NOT live – but the one below is!) Here is a little that I thought was obviously worth including here:
So anyway, with all the hand stamped jewelry out there what makes a Joseph Allen Design so special. Here is a list:
– I don’t want my designs to be too thin so I carve all the designs in wax, make a mold and then cast all of the necklaces so they can be unique with substance.
– I use argentium Sterling Silver. The most tarnish resistant silver available. I have old pieces sitting in my work bench that have been there for almost 5 years and are still nice and shiny.
– I guarantee to ship in 3 days! I have all the materials in stock so I never have to worry about an item being back ordered.
– Options, Options, Options!!! Maybe too many, I haven’t decided yet. Satin or Hammered finishes. Birthstones, Pearls, or Crystals.
– Customer service. I will always be here for you! I’ll be honest, I may slip away on the weekend but if I do I will be back on Monday.
This is probably the most important of them all. And unfortunately I can’t take credit for it because it is…..
-YOU! YOU choose your necklace and customize it with the finish and accents that YOU want. YOU then make the necklace truly what it is supposed to be by adding YOUR words, YOUR phrases, and YOUR names, making it special and meaningful to YOU.
GET YOUR OWN!! Start your Christmas shopping early over at Joseph Allen Designs! There are quite a few hand stamped jewelry items to choose from!
WIN YOUR OWN!! One lucky SIMPLE reader will get their choice their favorite Hand Stamped Jewelry item from Joseph Allen Designs! To enter, visit their site, then come back here and comment telling us which item or items are your favorite!
