wordwear: what message do you want to send?
I am not currently taking wordwear orders at this time. Kathryn Riechert on Etsy makes beautiful jewelry with letters, however.
I am a lettersmith who loves calligraphy, letterpress & words in all combinations, so creating wordwear was a natural evolution of my longing for letters. And they're shiny! Who can resist shiny?Each wordwear piece you see below is just $15 and is crafted from aluminum (.75"x1.5") with copper grommets, hung by a black satin cord with adjustable wrapped slipknots.
In addition to what you see here, I welcome custom orders: I am delighted to think I can help spread your message in such a simple but elegant & powerful way. Custom single tag necklaces & bracelets are $20, while additions or variations (like double tags, small heart or star punches, dog tag chain or magnetic clasp wire) may bring your total closer to $30. Please contact me to begin dreaming!
wordwear is made just for you, so please expect at least a week before shipping. I will contact you when I receive your order and when your order is ready to be shipped. I look forward to making something special for you!
