Joseph Allen Designs, a unique line of custom hand-stamped jewelry (Review + Giveaway)

Winner – Carole

As a proud mom, I love wearing jewelry that celebrates the little person who changed my life forever.  I own a handful of beautiful necklaces; one featuring her photo, another birthdate and birthstone and one with her name engraved.   Some combine a few of those elements.  There are so many different types of hand stamped jewelry available, but just recently I discovered one of the most unique versions.

Take one look at the Joseph Allen Designs boutique and you’ll see just what I mean.  There are your standard designs if a simple classic pendant is your style, or you can choose something extraordinary like this boy charm piece –

Or this “Doorway to my Heart” design –

I was particularly taken with the Mokume jewelry; this was something I hadn’t ever seen before and as an artist I was intrigued by this different material.  Mokume is a unique mixture of Argentium Sterling Silver and copper that is cut from sheets and can be hand-stamped.

While I tend to choose rounded shapes, I figured I’d try something different from the other necklaces I own and I went with the Mokume Open Square on a 16” curb chain.  I had it engraved with my daughter’s initials and birth date.  The mokume material is gorgeous and I just love the design.  I haven’t stopped wearing it since it arrived!

Wouldn’t you love to own something lovely from Joseph Allen Designs?  You’re in luck because you can enter here to win it!
