Handmade and personalized, It's Antique monogram necklace

Last week when the office was the busiest, a client ordered a gift for a VIP buyer from the UK.

Of course, along with the urgent request, so the gift could be ready in only two days.

We did accept the order due to the strong request, but I had to work around the clock that day.

The monogram necklace is not customary in Korea, but international customers, especially those from the UK, are quite familiar with them.

The orders for our hand made monoArtisan brand are increasing through word of mouth of international customers.

Even in Korea, I think it would be a great gift for VIP guests, especially international buyers. It is hand made, and the necklace is developed with the motive of that particular buyer, making it a special and valuable gift. Handmade and personalized!

The initials of the buyer were B and L.

This is the design beginning with the letters BL. It’s a Gothic type design. I call this design Antique Monogram.

I place this design on a silver sheet and saw it using a coping saw. Isn’t it simple?

Although it is simple, over 3,000 sawing action and devotion are essential.

First, a hole is made on the section the coping saw begins, followed by the openwork.

Only the above tools are used for production- sawing board, coping saw, and silver sheet.

The shape is cut out from the silver sheet using the coping saw. In order to lower costs, some international producers use the CNC machine to lower costs.

However, monoArtisan firmly and simply believes that one must own at least one hand made product in the world.

This is the photo after 1,500 sawing action. Concentration is very important when cutting out the pieces, for when a mistake is made, the sheet must be discarded. Well, it can be melted, but the process must begin again.

Once the cutting is complete and polished, the one and only necklace is born.

Unlike the initial necklaces with the entire name, monogram necklace consists of letters harmonizing to form a single design.

It has peculiar charm.

It is a great gift for VIPs.

Music Necklace-Hallelujah!!

Have you hummed a song all day heard from a radio at morning?

Music makes our minds joyful, comfortable, and especially through rough moments, encouraged.

What if this music stays with you all day long?

With this idea, we made our jewels.

Among the songs which inspire us, most wonderful melody is our motif.

Due to the nature of pendants, it has spatial limit.

Now our products are made of sterling silver and coated in order not to be discolored.

(But, silver is easily discolored depends on the usage and keeping condition.

In this case, silver cleaner make this back to original color.)

If you wear these jewels, every time, even during a whole day, this melody never leaves your mind and humming.

Various Wax Seal Cross Pendant made of Fine Silver

monoArtisan's Wax seal cross is made under the concept that I meet true my self only after I myself melt down.

The wax has been used from ancient time as the source material for creating jewelry.

Design and shape the wax as you want, go through gypsum casting, pour the melt gold or silver in 900 to 1000 degrees centigrade, then wax melt down and replaced by gold or silver. If the wax doesn't completely melt down, you cannot get the exact shape that you designed same, in case you don't kill your own ego, the Holy Spirit cannot come inside of you.

Wax cross necklace has adopted the wax seal stamping techniques in the Middle Ages that were used for the precious letter or official documents. The pattern of wax seal represents the symbol or monogram showing their status or position in the past.

I made the Cross pattern here in addition.

The wax cross necklace pendant is made of pure silver 99.9%, which represents pure faith in God. This pendent can be a very good gift for your precious people on Christening, wedding, bride maids, birthday, and other special celebration.

Bottony cross

Bottony Cross

bottony refers to a symbol having a bud or button, or a kind of trefoil, at the end; furnished with knobs or buttons. Hence, a cross bottony (or "botonny") is a cross having each arm terminating in three rounded lobes, forming a sort of trefoil. From the religious point of view, the cross bottony can be used as a symbol of the Christian Trinity.

A cross bottony which is heraldically "counterchanged" occurs on the flag of Maryland. [By Wikipedia]

Celtic Cross

In Ireland, it is a popular legend that the Celtic Christian cross was introduced by Saint Patrick or possibly Saint Declan during his time converting the pagan Irish, though there are no examples from this early period. It has often been claimed that Patrick combined the symbol of Christianity with the sun cross, to give pagan followers an idea of the importance of the cross by linking it with the idea of the life-giving properties of the sun. Other interpretations claim that placing the cross on top of the circle represents Christ's supremacy over the pagan sun. [ by Wikipedia]

Jerusalem Cross

Jerusalem cross necklace is made of Pure Silver(99.9%,Fine Silver) by monoArtisan Studio.
cross necklace has all different shape like the human face.

The Jerusalem cross, also known as Crusaders' cross or the "Five-fold Cross", is a heraldic cross or Christian symbol consisting of a large cross potent surrounded by four smaller Greek crosses, one in each quadrant.There are variants to the design, also known as "Jerusalem cross", with either the four crosslets also in the form of Crosses potent, or conversely with the central cross also in the form of a Greek cross

The symbolism of the five-fold cross is variously given as the Five Wounds of Christ, Christ and the four quarters of the world, Christ and the four evangelists. The "false blazonry" used for the Kingdom of Jerusalem ("metal upon metal", i.e. or (gold) on argent (silver)) was connected to Psalms 68:13, which mentions a "dove covered in silver, and her feathers with yellow gold".[1] The symbolism of five crosses representing the Five Wounds is first recorded earlier in the 11th century, with the consecration of the St Brelade's Church under the patronage of Robert of Normandy (before 1035); the crosses are incised in the church's altar slab.

crosslet Cross

A cross with the ends of each arm crossed. A prominent early example is in the arms of the Beauchamp earls of Warwick. In early armory it is not always distinguished from a cross bottony. A variant is the cross crosslet double crossed,[19] with two bars crossing each arm, as in the arms of Robert Willoughby, 1st Baron Willoughby de Broke(d.1502) sculpted on his tomb at Callington Church, Cornwall. It appears in the canon of the arms and flag of the Episcopal Church. [By Wikipedia]

Pearl monogram bracelet by monoartisan

http://www.monogramstuff.com/monogram-bracelets/

MonoArtisan specializes in manufacturing various jewelries such as necklace, bracelet, earring and brooch based on basic initial monogram.

Last time, I introduced some necklaces to you.  

Today, I will show you the same free style initial monogram bracelet matching the necklace.

This freestyle initial monogram jewelry is a hand-made product through whole processes from design to manufacturing.

Some of initial monogram jewelries by monoArtisan are reproduced based on the existing design font.  However, this freestyle initial monogram jewelry is just for one person from the design stage instead of using the existing font.

Therefore, it takes more time to produce the jewelry.   After a person decides the design of initial monogram and places an order, the initial monogram jewelry begins to be manufactured. 

As you know well, this is a customized and hand-made product, it takes some time to produce the initial monogram jewelry to maximize the quality of the product (Custom orders take at least 1 week). 

MonoArtisan really wants to share each moment to produce initial monogram bracelets with the customers who expect to enjoy.  

Followings are details of bracelets.

Pendant material: Sterling Silver (925)

Pendant size: 1inch Width

Pendant thickness: 1mm (0.39inch)

Chain size: Designed to fit a wrist between 5" and 6 1/2"

Chain type: fresh water pearl(about 5~7mm) & Ball Snap Button Clasp

This image shows the entire shape of bracelet.  In case of the above product, the pendant is connected at the top and we also produce bracelet connected to both sides.  I will show you the photos later.

Due to the totally custom nature of this item, monoArtisan doesn’t stock many inventories.  

The reason why we don’t have many inventories is that we do not make products only to advertise.  Instead, we produce personalized elegant custom-made products such as necklace, bracelet, earrings or brooch, adding or correcting desired letter on the basic products to your need.

Today is such a fine day that we can say it as “a fine Spring day”.

If you have someone who shares this fine day, call him/her.  Is it enough to call him/her just because it is fine day?
