For those of us who love beautiful things, jewelry is more than a valuable piece of metal. It is a piece of art made from the hearts of those fortunate enough to have the talent to create such charms. To create something so small that can give someone the world is a wondrous adventure. Who knew that the necklace you made would be given to a daughter for her birthday, and that her smile would bring tears to her father eyes. Who would have expected that your bracelet was given to a wife who fell in love with her husband all over again.

Jewelry making is an art form symbolic of love, human nature, and the blessings we are all given. And like any other art form, the artist must craft their form down to perfection. A jewelry artist makes nothing short of an immaculate product and yet is always striving to do better. Call it stubbornness, call it obsession . . . call it what you will, 'tis the life of a true artist.

As every great artist knows, a signature must be left behind on each piece. With jewelry there are two options. Mark the actual product with a jewelry stamp, or connect a petite metal jewelry tag to the piece. The most professional looking jewelry tags are marked with a TagMate, which leaves an impression that's always clear and centered perfectly on the tag . . . but that’s not good enough.

We like to consider ourselves artists as well, and like any good artist we are always striving to do better.

We now offer a kit that will darken the impression left in the tag as well as polish the metal to a gleaming shine. Not only is the metal jewelry tag marked, but you can now clearly see your own logo from a distance.

From Infinity Stamps, Inc., the new Blackening and Polishing Kit is a “highlighting” method that blackens marked jewelry tags and other marked jewelry items.

After marking your jewelry tags or other silver or gold jewelry item with your stamp(s), you can enhance your logo, decorative marks, and text with our Blackening Solution and a Polishing Cloth. The contrast achieved with the Blackening Kit makes your mark more noticeable and easier to read.

This additional step “highlights” your impressed logo and decorative marks, and leaves your tags and other marked jewelry items with a beautiful shine.

The Blackening Solution can also be used for highlighting items made of copper, bronze and aluminum.

This blackening method is popular among unique jewelry manufacturers, creative artists and sculptors who use it for enhancing their logos, hand-written signatures, initials and decorative designs.

For jewelry artists who wish to add shine to their tags without blackening the impressed marks, the Polishing Cloths alone will do the trick.
