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

[amazingbabe]

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.

Can you stamp sterling silver work with this stamp or is it just pmc ????
would love to get my own stamp done xx

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.

But presumably you're not selling these

[Fi Wilson]

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.

If you qualify for either a full/part-time student I would definately get a makers mark registered with the London Assay Office. It's a really good price especially when you consider that a punch from them costs £60 alone.

If you're not eligible for the offer, I would still register for a makers mark. £47 to have that mark for £10 years is not at all bad (and you get the option of renewal at the end of that time) and you don't have to get your punch made/supplied by the Assay Office of your choice as there are other people who will make up the punch for you - just remember that you must get it registered with them before you use it if you go down this route.

loving your little stamp it's fabulous

[Fi Wilson]

Hee, thanks! Must admit, paying for it was a little painful but it makes it all worthwhile when you've got a little logo on your piece that make's it yours.
