STAMP CAMP!!

A short while ago, I decided to try my hand at metal stamping. It looks so easy, but I found very early on that it really required patience and skill. I have been practicing now for some time and have acquired some tools to help me get into this aspect of jewelry making. I thought I would share a few thoughts here for those of you who may have been toying with the idea of trying it yourself! Stamping itself is a very basic technique. Combined with your jewelry designs, you can add some personalization and make your jewelry really special. There are a few basic tools that you will need to get started.

· You can start with an inexpensive letter set in either lower or higher case. There are many of them on the market and you can broaden your font choices as you gain more knowledge and skill.

· A few design stamps will get you on your way. Try some simple designs to start and expand your collection once you get the hang of it.

· A steel bench block ensures a sharp impression. These can be found in a variety of shapes and sizes.

· Safety goggles should always be work to protect your eyes from injury.

· A stamping hammer should weigh at least one pound. Ideally, a brass hammer prevents bounceback.

· Prefabricated shapes in either copper, brass or sterling silver can be found online in many metal stamping shops. When you improve your skill and decide that this is something you want to continue exploring, you can purchase sheet metal and disc cutters to make your own.

Of course, there are lots of other things which you can add to your repertoire down the road. Center punches, table vises, ring clamps, bench pins and cutters will all come in handy.

The key to a successful result is a firm, steady strike with your hammer. Place your disc on the steel bench block secured by a small piece of painters tape. Hold the stamp in your stabilizing hand and the hammer in your dominant hand. Make sure the hammer comes down straight, striking the stamp dead center. Sounds easy right! NOT. Lots of practice using scrap metal in copper or brass will help you determine just how hard you need to strike the stamp to get the desired impression.

There are many books out there and some contain videos as well as online websites with free tutorials, so take advantage of all the advice and knowledge you can obtain.

Here’s to a fun and personalized jewelry style!!!

From Earth's House to Ours!

2008-08-24T14:21:00.000-04:00

During our recent trip to North Carolina, Bill and I had a great time mining for gemstones. Bill was lucky enough to uncover a 22 carat ruby. We brought it back and Bill had a pendant designed for my birthday. It came out splendidly. What a great remembrance of our trip. Who would of thought that something that looks like a simple, plain old rock, could result in such a beautiful piece of jewelry!!

Gift Tags and more......

2008-07-23T07:32:00.000-04:00

One of the things that we feel is important, is the way we package our jewelry. Each piece is wrapped in a silver organza gift bag, with a lovely "nature" inspired tag. We insert the puch into a deep purple gift bag with silver tissue. Since we are big nature buffs, and create mostly with semi precious gemstones, we felt that this added touch, along with our color scheme of deep purple and silver, would create a statement for our shop.

Our tags were personally designed by Amy at this great shop.

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=59960

She has such a talent for recognizing what a customer needs. I simply told her what we would like to accomplish and voila! she created our signature design gift tag. Since the original sale, we have been back for more tags (thank goodness we are selling!!) and have also purchased some of her delightful cards. Check out her shop and tell her we sent you. You won't be disappointed.

Our Story

2008-07-12T21:47:00.000-04:00

While hiking in the Adirondack Mountains of New York several years ago,Bill and I discovered our first piece of garnet. Thus, the birth of JemsbyJB&Company (Judy and Bill), our hopes for an early retirement!! We have since worked with many other semi-precious gemstones and have brought some of our stones from their raw state to the beautiful finished pieces that we now offer for sale. We try to create pieces that will appeal to all ages and fashion trends. Our five children and their respective spouses,Jeff and Chrissy,Kyle and Scotti,Allie,Michelle, Jen and Matt, serve as our "testers" and give us advice on what they feel will sell. Although we both have full time careers that keep us pretty busy, we spend our free time designing new pieces. I am considered the creative genuis behind this operation and Bill is "manufacturing". We still enjoy our rides to the mountains where we continue to find treasures that inspire our creations.
