Personalised bracelet with a 'Hidden message'

I get a lot of requests for stamping on both sides of a tag or a charm. Most of the time though, I have to say 'no' as normally the stamped letters tend to go through the metal quite deep and make an impression on the reverse side of the tag. It is possible on the thicker pieces but not so easy on the thinner ones.

On this occasion, my customer really liked the Aluminium tag bracelet and wanted another hidden message on the inner side. I was worried about the thickness of the tag but after a little persuasion I thought I would have a go.

I had to stamp one side then sand the back to make a smooth surface and then stamp the reverse and again sand the other side so that both sides were smooth and no stamping marks were showing.
It worked! I was surprised how well it worked and the finished bracelet looks lovely.
Hope you agree.

Latest commission: Personalised Bridesmaids Bracelets

I have recently been contacted by a bride to be who was looking for some bridesmaids bracelets.
She wanted to combine the capped bead from my 'floating flower necklace' together with my 'stretchy pearl bracelet'.

 

Her colour theme was sage green with light pink. We have decided to use some 8mm Swarovski Crystal pearls together with a glass lampwork bead with pink floating flowers and green leaves.

This was a bit of a rushed job as I was asked to do this on a Monday for a wedding on a Saturday but I think the bracelets looked lovely and my customer was pleased with them...
Here are some photos of the final result!
