I hand stamped each letter and design onto an aluminum bar. I then blackened the letters to make them stand out. The pendant hangs from a silver colored base metal chain. These can be personalized. Please Note: Due to the handmade nature, your necklace may not look exactly as pictured. Please remember that I hand stamp each pendant one letter at a time and it may not be perfect. Bar is about 1 1/2" x 1/4" Aluminum pendant on stainless steel chain. Made to order.
