Materials I predominantly work with Aluminium, this is because aluminium is a lightweight metal but durable metal & will not tarnish over time like sterling sterling or silver plated metals. Aluminium is also hypoallergenic making it a perfect metal for jewellery & accessories. Technique All my Pieces are cut by hand by myself, I use a hand operated saw & cut each shape out individually. Dog tags are also cut by hand however my discs are cut using a hand operated disc cutter. I try my hardest to ensure uniformity & perfection, but due to the hand made nature of my pieces each finished piece will be slightly different. Personalisations to pieces are made through hand stamping each piece. Hand stamping is a technique in which each design & letter are hammered into the metal individually, there is no machine engraving involved in making my pieces. As each letter/design is individually hammered into the metal on occasion letters will not be 100% perfect aligned, although I try to avoid this unfortunately I am not an engraving machine! By hammering each letter into the metal, it can leave marks on the reverse side of the metal, I endeavour to remove these through
