Holiday ordering calendar is live!

Every year, customers ask me “when do you need my order by for holiday cards/Christmas?” The short answer is “the sooner the better.”

Because many of our customers want a customized ring or seal to their own design and different materials require different lengths of time for production, the long answer is a calendar, with the deadline depending on if you want it in time to seal your own holiday cards or for Christmas gifting, if it’s a stock design or customized, and what material you want.

Etsy is the fastest way to get a stock design if it’s already in stock, and your primary source for sealing wax.  You can always request a custom listing for any sold out items, wax color samples, custom products, or large orders of wax.

If a stock design is sold out on Etsy, ordering it on Shapeways is the next fastest way to get it, they will 3D print it and send it directly to you.

For custom rings and seals, it’s always best to email the design for a free evaluation and estimate to orders at lightbringerdesigns dot com.

Deadline to order stock designs in plated brass for Christmas

This is the last day to order stock designs directly from the Shapeways Store in gold or rhodium plated brass and get it in time for Christmas. These allow the same level of detail as the other cast metals, but are made of solid brass and plated with a thin layer of precious metals and have a very long lead time.

New Product: “Scales of Justice” Seal

Now available for all you lawyers and other legal people, a seal to show off your profession:

 

I’m particularly proud of my artistry on this one.  It’s not obvious from a head-on view, but there is some real depth variation that will be much more obvious when you see the seal in person.  The bowls of the scale literally pop out at you:

 

 

And as usual, the top of the seal has the same symbol as the impression to make getting the right orientation simple.
