    Default Does anyone know where I can find these?

    Hi there! Newbie here!

    I've been searching high and low for these letters (the slide on type with no ring attachment).
    Pref Stirling/plated silver. Gold/rose gold a bonus!

    I've trawled Google/Etsy/EBay and I'm having no luck.

    Can anyone help please?

    Thank you

    I've bought the ringed type, heated until the ring came off and then used them (you could solder an attachment to the back of the letter then).

    that sounds faffy Lydia!! I just cut them from sheet

    Looking at the example, I'm not convinced they sit very well - they're inevitably going to tip forward regardless of where the loop on the back is positioned. Unless they were double looped and double strung I suppose.

    Not s'much. I needed a couple for something quick for my daughter (Ineeditnow!) Cut two of each out and make a channel for the chain before soldering together?

    I did find these on Etsy, so there are probably more. Dennis.

    Default Making these?

    Hi there!

    I've posted before regarding these but I can't find the thread!

    I've searched high and low after realising I want them in sterling silver, I can't find them anywhere. Is it possible to make these? (Total newbie by the way!)

    I'm worried about buying silver plated if there is the possibility they will tarnish/leave marks?

    Thank you and sorry if it's an annoying newbie question!

    They could be pierced out, which would be a good exercise in using a piercing saw. Or they could be carved from wax and cast, or done in CAD, printed or milled and cast. First two require minimal tool outlay...
