Hand stamped rather than machine engraved

If you are looking for a quality Polaris necklace that will stand the test of time, consider getting a hand stamped rather than machine engraved one. This means that the metal will be removed from the necklace, and the pattern, word, or design will then be hand stamped rather than machine engraved.

Hand-stamping is an art form that involves marking the metal with a hammer and stamp. Each stamp must be individually designed and struck repeatedly until the desired depth is reached. This process is slower, but requires good eye-hand coordination. The result is a necklace that is more unique and personal than a machine-engraved one.
