Second Side Customization
$22.00
Would you like your hand-forged sterling piece from Birth Designs to be personalized on the back? Buy this listing! Please note, you are not just buying the hand-lettering, you are buying all the work in order to support the stamping of the second side.
Not all items are eligible for second-side personalization - please message us if unsure.
This listing applies to only some of my offerings - they all reference an "a la carte" option for second-side stamping/customization. This is it!
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT HAND-STAMPED ITEMS: This item is hand-stamped, and the letters will not be perfectly straight - it's part of the charm of this artisan item :) Additionally, stamping is a much deeper impression, and also blackened, to be much more visible than engraving. We have other hand-stamped items available in our store, if you would like to see more examples.
ADDITIONALLY, PLEASE NOTE: Hand Stamping is not the same process as engraving. It is pounding a design into metal, and it *will* mark the other side of your pendant with a slightly flat spot. _______________________________________________________________________
♥ All orders are packaged in our custom and professional Birth Designs cocoa-and-turquoise boxes. They include an information card about Birth Designs.
♥ We are happy to include matching gift cards at no extra charge if requested.
♥ Most retail items ship within about 2-3 from order date. Every single piece is sawn, hammered, pierced, filed, oxidized, buffed, and finished by hand - right here. We take great pride in our work, and even though our processes might be a bit slower, they are time-honored with classic proven quality. If you want the best hand-hewn look, you have come to the right place.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wholesale availability
I offer wholesale pricing on many items for group buys and brick and mortar shops. You can find my wholesale line sheets on the Etsy wholesale site. Contact me for more information.
Custom and personalized orders
Since almost everything I make is custom, the best way to order and let me know is to take a look at the options available in the item description for that listing.
Don't worry - I'll never make your order without checking for your personalization, if it was not included with your order.
I can make just about anything, so if you don't see what you want in my shop, just message me and I can discuss a quote, options, and even a custom listing should you wish.

What is the timing of items you make? When will they ship?
Most retail items ship within about 2ish WEEKS from order date. Remember, while you are sooo important to us, we are a family of 7 and "stuff" happens. IF YOU NEED AN ITEM SOONER than the listed forging time, contact me - often I can get a single order out sooner if requested.
Exceptions: During busy holidays, it can take longer. If you are needing it for a specific occasion or date, check with me and make sure you'll receive it in time, or purchase express postage.
Sometimes, items ship SOONER, because they are ready-stock. If this is the case, the listing will state that.
Any any case - if you need something by a certain time - please contact me and double check. If I know, I can help. If I don't know... it is subject to fate.
Gift wrapping and packaging
Yes! All of our items arrive in professional packaging, with an information card about our items. Very suitable for gift giving. No receipt is included (saving a tree and also your recipient) because you can view it online at any time.
Gift cards handwritten upon request - no charge!
Sizing details
Since I actually hand- forge my items, most of them can be altered, changed, sized, etc. I try to be very thorough in my descriptions, but I encourage you to ask if you need a sizing exception. I can usually accommodate - and happily!
