When you make your own jewelry, you can easily add custom pieces that make it extra special. With metal stamping, you can add names or words that are special to you. This statement necklace has metal stamping on two of the rings, which adds both a textural element and special meaning to the necklace.
Impress Art sent me some of their wonderful stamps and blanks to use for this project. If you’d like to make your own metal stamped statement necklace, you’ll need:
Metal stamping blanks (rings)
Metal Stamping tools
Various sized rings and jump rings
Jewelry Pliers
Jewelry Chain
Decide what you want to stamp on your rings. I chose “Love” for one and “Faith” for the other. There was plenty of room to stamp each three times.
Connect the stamped rings and other assorted rings to make a chain.
Add other rings along and between the chain to make a decorative statement piece.
Use jump rings to add necklace chain to either side.
Cut the chain to the desired length, then add a jewelry clasp.
Your statement necklace is finished!
You make it look so easy. Do the rings jump around when you try to stamp them or do you tape them down? Your necklace is very pretty and simple, can wear with many outfits. I’d love to make some things but would need to see how much all needed tools to make them would be. Lucky you having the company send you things to try for free. Good advantage to having a blog which is lots of work.
Happy week, enjoyed your post.
Thanks for linking this up to the Welcome Home Wednesdays link party! So cute!! I especially love the stamping! Thanks for sharing…we hope to see you again next week!
You have me curious about the art of stamping metal now. Are the tools expensive? I have ordered a few personalized items from Etsy, but this looks simple enough to try AND it looks FUN! Your necklace turned out very pretty =) BTW, thank you for stopping by and linking with us at the Welcome Home Wednesday link party. I hope that you come by next week to post more!
The tools are a little bit of an investment, but they last FOREVER. You buy them once, and have them for always! You can always add them to your Birthday wish list. 😀
Wow… you make this look so pretty and easy! Like I could even make one myself! Haha! I have seen similar necklaces but the added stamps are so cute! It would be the perfect way to add special details like a hubby’s name, kiddos names, wedding dates… maybe even bridesmaid jewelry! Love it! Thanks for linking up with us at Welcome Home Wednesdays… can’t wait to see you next week!
