About this Product
Yes, I can do more than 2 states : ) See pictures!
• NO MATTER THE DISTANCE BRACELET •
A beautiful statement - "I miss you." Customized with states and initials - can also substitute stars for hearts if that is more your feels : ) A lovely reminder for you, a cherished gift for them - kids off to school, BFFs, long distance relationships, families who have spread out, cousins... I can customize these bracelets to fit just about anyone - from babies to very large gentlemen : ) Just need measurement! I also have another design with just the states and connecting design, if you would like something more simple! I also make this bracelet with a very "neat" script, and can stamp last line straight across, if that is more to your liking : ) That is the beauty of custom!
ABOUT THIS PIECE:
- Bracelet shown is 3/8 inch wide, and the bar is 6 inches long, which fits the majority of adults. I can make them bigger or smaller to meet your need!
- Metal Color: Silver
- Metal Type: High grade, food grade, thick aluminum - it is lightweight, non-reactive (won't turn you green, or tarnish), hypoallergenic, and requires no special care.
- Back side: Can be further customized with names or dates for a small charge - if you would like to do that, send me a conversation request BEFORE ordering - let's work out the details - which is super easy!
- MATERIALS - Bracelet is high quality aluminum. None to tarnish, rust, or turn your skin colors!
- SIZE - Models are made from a 6" bar. I can custom cut to fit anyone - just need a wrist measurement!
- PROCESSING TIME - Usually shipped within 7 days - often sooner. CHECK YOUR MESSAGES REGULARLY! : ) If timing is critical, please make sure to talk to me about that before you place your order : )
- SHIPPING TIME - depends on the shipping method you choose, how far away from AZ you are, and how fast the carriers are moving at that time! If the item is a gift, we can save a little time by sending it directly to the recipient, if you do not need to present them with it yourself.
All of my items are handcrafted! Each letter, each design is carefully hand struck by me. All of my pieces are lovingly hand finished. I love what I do! : )
A FEW MORE DETAILS:
- Because of the nature of the different metals I use, along with different font and design stamps, I cannot always stamp on both sides of a piece (think front and back). Please inquire via convo if that's something you're interested in, and we will figure it out : ) Most things I can make work, if we plan it.
- Because I am allergic to many metals (and other things), I am pretty careful about selecting hypoallergenic materials. I especially avoid nickel. That said, every body reacts differently to every thing, and while I've had no problems, I can't make a sweeping guarantee (nor can anyone else metalcrafting!) I am also careful to buy lead and heavy metal free components!
- Personalization directions for this item can be found below and next to "Personalization" box : )
- Photos are CLOSEUPS to show detail. I usually include some pictures with common items in them to help show scale! Feel free to ask for more.
ABOUT THE BRACELET:
Celebrate your relationships, remind someone you miss them, find comfort in seeing them right there with you... the reasons people choose this bracelet are as many and unique as - well - people! I can also design for families and groups of friends - send me a conversation with your ideas.
This is a high quality bracelet, meant to be worn. It is super neutral, and goes with most everything - maybe not diamonds, but perfect for every day wear. (If you are looking for something fancy, I would be happy to create a sophisticated design in sterling or gold/rose gold for you!) The bracelet is lightweight - very natural and easy to wear.
Having something custom made is a special experience. Giving someone special a gift you had made - just for them - even more so. For both of you.
• PERSONALIZATION DIRECTIONS •
1.) Choose your variation of the connecting design on front - hearts (as shown in pictures), stars, or dots.
2.) Choose initial decoration, or none.
3.) Fill out Personalization box:
a.) List the States you would like connected, in the order you want them. (In model, that would be Arizona and Washington.)
b.) If you would like cities approximately marked on the state, list cities. (In model, Phoenix and Seattle.)
c.) Single initial for each person the states represent. (Model - AZ=M, WA=B)
d.) If you need a custom size, enter wrist measurement.
4.) Double check your spelling and details above! I will stamp what you enter!
5.) CHECK YOUR MESSAGES REGULARLY!! : ) I will write a message confirming your design, before I get started on it to make sure I have it right!
6.) If you can include details about recipient, I can better shape to size - male/female, adult/child (age), big boned/fine boned, thin/average/heavy all help me guesstimate the shape/size. Of course if you know a wrist measurement, that really helps : ) Just make sure it is accurate, not pulled tight, and on the spot where the bracelet will be worn ;)
STAMPED JEWELRY INFORMATION & CARE

* Please ask any questions you may have before ordering.
* Cuff bracelets are the only jewelry I make safe for even very young children - the aluminum I use is food safe, and they have no small parts.
* Always remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping to protect finishes.
* I include cleaning/polishing/touchup instructions with each piece. Do not use jewelry cleaners or ultrasonics - they will remove the darkening or color in your designs.

PLEASE NOTE: I stamp everything by hand. All the letters may or may not line up perfectly, and there can be some variations in depth. My handiwork is well represented in my photos! : ) These traits make each piece unique, and are not defects - it adds to the charm of a unique, handcrafted piece.

FAQ
Are Shipping Times Guaranteed?
Unfortunately, shipping times are beyond my control. It's important to consider the estimated shipping times provided by the carrier (most often – the post office). USPS does not guarantee specific delivery dates except for 1 and 2 day packages, and while I strive to ship orders promptly, I cannot control the exact arrival date of a package. Once the post office marks a package as delivered, I have limited control over the information available to me. If you encounter any issues with a delivery, I recommend reaching out to your local post office as they will have the most up-to-date information.
Can I Get A Return Shipping Label?
I understand the importance of a smooth return process. For return postage, please note that the customer is responsible for covering the cost. At this time, I do not provide return shipping labels unless the item was initially defective. To ensure a satisfactory purchase experience, I kindly recommend reviewing the item description carefully before making a purchase, specifically regarding sizes and quantities. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
How Much Will I Be Refunded?
I refund the item cost + tax. For items that were shipped with free shipping, any returns or exchanges will be subject to a deduction of the actual post office cost of shipping from the refunded amount, except for items that were received damaged. In order to verify the damage and potentially file a claim with the post office, I kindly require that you provide photos of both the damaged item and the packaging ASAP. This will assist in ensuring a fair resolution. If the packaging was damaged during transit, a picture prior to opening can make things move much quicker. If you have any further questions or need assistance with the return process, please don't hesitate to let me know.
I Didn't Get My Package, Can I Get A Refund?
If you haven't received your package but the post office has marked it as delivered, it is recommended that you reach out to the post office to inquire about the delivery location. They have access to GPS data from their scanners, which allows them to determine the exact address where the package was delivered. If an error occurred, they should be able to assist you in locating or retrieving the package. However, if the package was indeed delivered to your address according to their records, the post office may not be able to provide further assistance.
In cases where a package was delivered to your address but you are unable to locate it, I am unable to offer a refund. That is between you and the carrier. It is advisable to file a stolen mail report with both the post office/carrier and your local police. This will help authorities track incidents of mail theft and identify any potential patterns. Please inform me if you find yourself in this situation so that I am aware of the circumstances.
If the package was not delivered according to the tracking information or there is no record of it being received, please contact me, and I will work with you to find a suitable resolution.
I hope I covered everything for you! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me via email if you have any specific questions or require additional photos of an item. I want to ensure that you have all the information you need before making a purchase. Each item listed has been described to the best of my ability, and I'll be more than happy to provide any clarifications or address any concerns you may have. Your satisfaction is my priority, so please feel free to contact me with any inquiries.
