    Default Where to get my sponsor's/maker's mark??

    Hi!
    I've read tons of threads about these and I know quite a lot about these now thanks to you all. One question remains: where can I get one done for me? Just the maker's mark, or even a personalised punch with a word, mini logo. I already punch my jewellery because it's underweight but I'd really like my own mark at the back, too!
    So what kind of company can make that for me?
    Thanks!!

    Hi, I ended up getting mine from the States from microstamp.us as I couldn't find anyone in the UK. There are people who will laser etch your mark into tags but I also wanted to be able to imprint my mark into PMC and other stuff. I don't remember it breaking the bank but the rubbish exchange rate at the time and also getting stung for the customs charge c.£17 did make it seem more expensive than it was. Worth the investment though as I'm free to make my mark in whatever I want.

    Grrr! Sorry! That's always happening with my web links. Think I'm doing something wrong! If you go to www.microstamp.us that should get you there. Hopefully!!

    I think she meant the one to the Indigo Blue site as that doesn't work

    Yes, I was able to go to microstamp, but I could not go to your own site Fi as your link doesn't work.

    I've been stamping my own sterling silver tags with it with no problems (see piccie). Takes a while to get the knack of how much whack to give it so I assume you should be able to use it on other pieces too.

    Not selling anything over the 7.something gram mark. The stamp I've got is more a logo rather than a marker's mark which I will get done properly with my initials from the assay office.
