The You Are Loved necklace by Birth Designs is a unique, gorgeous hand-stamped piece of jewelry that is appropriate for both adults and children. It would be a beautiful gift for an expecting mother for her baby shower, as the moving heart within the oval can represent the growing life within.

Personalize this classic sterling silver necklace by custom stamping any name or word onto the oval, with a maximum of 15 letters and spaces. The standard length of the chain is 16-inches, and a 2-inch extender will allow the necklace to be worn as up to an 18-inches necklace for maximum versatility.

Birth Design's necklaces are hand-hewn in their studio from milled sterling silver chain. Quality is important to this designer, so they never use jump rings in their basic construction. All necklaces use a hand-looped secure closure with accent sterling beads so that it doesn't just fall apart on you. All of their hand-sawn, pierced, filed, stamped, and / or oxidized pieces are forged with proven, classic techniques. Although this takes more time up front, it produces heirloom quality work, and creates a piece of jewelry you will treasure forever.

Remember that because this necklace is hand-stamped, the letters will not be perfectly straight which is part of the charm of artisan items such as the You Are Loved necklace. Plus, because stamping creates a much deeper impression in the metal, it is much more visible than engraving. The engraved sections are also blackened, making it stand out and easier to read.

To keep cosmetics, perfumes, and hair care items from damaging your necklace, use these products before you put on your jewelry. Polish the You Are Loved necklace with a silver cloth as needed. To avoid breaking or damaging your necklace while cleaning, rub the metal against the cloth instead of pulling it through the cloth. Clean with jewelry cleaner to return this necklace to its original sparkle. To protect the necklace, remove it when there is a risk of exposure to chemicals like those found in household cleaning supplies.
