MAP items

I use my stock of maps and atlases. I always use originals, never use print outs from photos, google maps or any other website.

- First, I check with Google maps where the chosen location is if I don`t know it.

- I search my maps and atlases for the place now I know where to look for.

- If the customer asked for a preview, I take photos of a few maps under the glass in the exact size for the ordered item (to feel the scale of the map) and send those photos to the customer. Emails with photo attachments back and forth :)

- When the map choice is made I take the piece of glass in the right size for the chosen item (for example a keychain) and cut out the city (or any other location) from the authentic map/atlas.

- I glue the glass to the piece of map and let it dry.

- If you decided to go for an engraved piece - I engrave the metal setting for you,

- I glue the dried piece of map and glass to the metal setting adding all the extras (so for the keychain, it is the ring and the clasp, for the necklace it is a chain, etc)

- Then I pack it and it's on a way to you or to the given address of a gift recipient.

YES! All map items are treated as custom made to your special requirement.

- It can be a village, town, city, island – you choose! These work the best.

- I am also able to make some items featuring county, state or country but only for larger items such as necklaces and keychains, pocket mirrors, bottle stoppers and bottle openers.

- Please note I am generally unable to offer maps of specific addresses, streets or buildings.

- I do have some city plans (like London, New York, Chicago, etc. so streets or areas are open to discussion but please ask for details prior to order)

- If in doubt please message me before placing a firm order to avoid disappointment.

- If you wish to see a proof prior to order - please don't hesitate to ask

I use a professional hand engraving tool and my handwriting is pretty neat (I don`t do computer engraving).

 

- I am able to engrave on sterling silver and on coloured metal - but not on silver tone metal. 

- Every product which is  engravable has this information stated in the description.

 

Regarding amount of letters

- for cufflinks I can engrave up to 18 characters

- for keychains I can engrave short phrases (imagine writing on £2 or $1 coin).

Typewriter Items

I collect LOTS of typewriters! so I do have all keys available at all times.

- I cut the keys out of old, broken typewriters.

- I disassemble them (metal ring, glass, piece of cardboard or paper with letter and metal holder).

- I clean thoroughly glass and metal rings.

- When I receive an order or enquiry - I check my stock of letters and match the letters needed.

- I put together identical rings, pieces of glass and needed letters and placed them into the required item - set of cufflinks or pendant finding with epoxy resin.

- I let the piece dry.

- Then I pack the ready item and it's on its way to the customer.

Yes! I do have a whole range of numbers and punctuation marks.

- These like in any other keyboard keys are featured in pairs - one number and one special character or punctuation mark on each one typewriter key.

- For the details and options - please contact me I am happy to show you what I have got!
