My shipment of aluminum ring and bracelet blanks came in last week, and I am quite saddened to report that my experiments with said products proved quite disappointing.
Until today, I agreed with my friend Rach, who said "They'll look really nice in pictures, but people are going to be
real disappointed when they get them in the mail." She was right on the latter count, but not so right on the former: I don't think they made very good photos. Sigh.

I was pretty sad that the aluminum won't work out, but I suppose the ole adage "You get what you pay for" rings true (pardon the pun...) no matter what. As soon as Rio credits us for all the scrap we just sent them from my Christmas mistakes--yikes!--we'll place an order for the supplies we'll need to start stamping sterling silver bands. If you have an idea for text on a ring, please let us know! Whenever we introduce a new product for
the shop, we always have to create samples for our photos.
Pictured below is one of the fonts that will be available on our rings.

| New font: 2.5mm typewriter. We normally use 3.5mm fonts on our discs, but this mom needed a smaller one to accomodate a longer name. I seriously love this font and honestly would rather have started Becca Winslow Jewelry with it (rather than with corsiva). We're ordering a 3.5mm set soon. |
