PSA: Italian Charms
This is posted in response to a question.
For those that are unfamiliar with Italian Charms, this is the best picture I could find with a little bit of googling. I wish my dh and friend weren’t hogging the computer I can download pictures on, or I would just photograph some of mine. lol.
The second picture is of a blank charm, which is what I work with. I take a photograph and scan it into my computer so that I can perfect the image quality. Then I carefully assemble the charm. When it is complete, the top resembles glass and is slightly rounded which magnifies the picture just a bit.
Recently, I also got some double wide charms (size of two charms) so that I can do a larger variety of custom work. I also do team logos for smaller, local schools that you are not usually able to get jewelry for. I will basically do any photo you want, as long as it doesn’t infringe on copyright. (and things can be altered slightly to avoid copyright infringement) I can make a charm of literally any photo…from your child (which is the bulk of my work), favorite diaper (hee hee), your company, your team…anything you can think of. (well, I won’t do porn or stuff like that). I sell them on consignment at my SILs store. They sell for $24 and up. (No, I don’t see all of that money…lol.)
Here is a photo of Zach working on a charm from a previous posting.
Neat idea!!!! Thanks for the explanation.
