I'm so happy to show off my latest line of designs!  This collection is all about genuine gemstones and bold silver settings.  This Dream Cloud Ring has puffy swirls that showcase the delicate colored Citrine.  I've added blue hues with a patina to the prong setting, which reflect thru the stone, very unique!

Jewelry Tags by the Charm Factory - My Review

I was selected to review the Charm Factory Custom Engraved Metal Jewelry Tags.  Super excited, I looked at the choices of sizes, shapes and metals.  My logo is detailed and I was thrilled to get the chance to test out jewelry tags with my logo.  My final selection was Sterling Silver Ovals:


The tags arrived very quickly and I was so surprised that as tiny as they were, they made a big statement about the quality of my handmade jewelry.  These sterling tags bring my designs up a notch and give my jewelry a sophisticated genuine feel, very professional!


I would highly recommend the Charm Factory Custom Engraved Metal Jewelry Tags!
There are several metals, sizes, shapes, letter fonts, etc.  These are truly custom!

The detail of the engraving is amazing!  This is my logo and I haven't polished the tag or darkened it with a patina.  The words are super tiny but very clear.  Click the photo to see it even bigger!


I love the look of my new jewelry tags!

Guess what else I can do with them?


I can clip off the little loop and solder them onto the back of pieces!



The little logo looks great on the back, and we all know that customers flip over items to see the back!
