For this week’s #tooltalktuesday I’m super excited to show off my custom stamps from @buckeyeengraving they created my CBJ maker’s mark for my jewelry business @corkieboltonjewelry and the quality is fantastic. I ordered it 3mm wide x 1.5mm height and it’s perfect for subtly marking my work. Everything they do is custom made, so the size you choose depends on personal preference, detail level of your logo, how it is being applied, and whether it is being hand stamped or used in a press. Their sizes are created in thousandths of an inch (.001") so they can adjust size accordingly until it is just right for your particular application. I also had them create a custom design so that I could create a repetitive texture and design element on my work . Having your own drawing or design created into a stamp is a great way to do something completely unique on your work. For reference my starburst/floral design was made into an 8mm stamp. Buckeye is based in Ohio and they do it all in house with steel made in the USA. So I love that you are supporting a small business when you order from them! If you want to create a stamp the ordering process is super easy, just shoot them an email with artwork (or a description) and an idea of the size you want and they will send you a quote (the more detailed your info is the quicker you can get a quote). Most jewelry stamps are within the range of $85-$200 and this depends on size and complexity. Once an order is placed the turnaround time is about two weeks! I genuinely love both of my stamps and would use Buckeye again, they take great pride in their work and have great customer service. If you go with a larger stamp use their advice and get yourself a 3 pound mallet and hammer on a solid surface like a big steel block or anvil, I will also follow up with a stamping tip tomorrow so stay tuned!
