Craft · by KJ

From blank
to keepsake.

Metal. A hammer. Something that matters. A look at how they come together.

Made slowly. Made yours.

A small piece. A personal journey.

A 40 × 24 mm tag, in the metal that speaks to you.

Each character and symbol is individually hand stamped by KJ.

Natural or oxidised, every piece is finished with Renaissance wax.

Your custom tag includes a matching-colour 60 cm traditional ball chain.

Three metals. Your meaning.

Different tones and different histories. The personal meaning is yours.

Cool, silver-coloured and contemporary. “Silver” describes the colour; it is a copper–nickel alloy and contains nickel.

Golden, warm and full of character. A copper and zinc alloy with a warmth all its own.

Earthy, rosy and beautifully warm. Its surface can develop its own character over time.

Workshop words

Hand stamping

Every character is stamped individually into the metal. Small variations in depth, spacing and finish are evidence of the handmade process.

Oxidised finish

Oxidation darkens the recessed impressions and develops an aged-looking surface. “Antique” describes the finish, not the age of the tag.

Renaissance wax

A thin coat of microcrystalline wax helps resist moisture and handling. It is used on both Natural and Antique finishes and is not a permanent seal.

Your words. Your little work of art.

The customiser is a guide; KJ makes every finished piece individually.
