Announcement
Welcome to NoWayOut jewelry ♥ Each of my designs is personally handcrafted by me from sterling silver or gold using traditional metalsmithing techniques.
I specialize in custom handwriting, hand/footprint jewelry as well as keepsake quality engraved, meaningful pieces inscribed with your choice of text, Chinese/Japanese letters or simple symbols.
Almost every font is available for personalizing your piece of jewelry, which makes your necklace, bracelet or ring a truly one-of-a-kind creation. I hope you find something you like here. Don't forget to check back often as I add new items frequently.
Pieces of my jewelry collection have been featured in the pages of the InStyle Magazine for several times as well as in international magazines like WOMAN, Freundin, BravoGirl, miss, DIVA, Engaged and WeddingPlanner.
My current production time is 1-3 days.
This is an estimate and we do aim to ship sooner.
Rush orders are ready to ship within 24 hours for an additional fee of $20.00.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS
Delays are not by us - we are exceeding our processing estimates by days and getting parcels out before due dates. These delays are due to carriers struggling with logistics and beyond our control.
We are not responsible for parcels going missing or taking a long time to reach you. We will not respond to rude or abusive messages.
We are a small business and we are also human beings and kindness and politeness will get you a lot further with us than rudeness ever will. We will always help if we can.
Having said all of the above, the majority of our customers are just gorgeous and we are so grateful for you and the opportunity to sell our heartfelt jewelry here on Etsy.
Enjoy your visit :-)

3 out of 5 starsSmaller than I expected and a little bit difficult to read the inscription. Not the seller's fault.

3 out of 5 starsWriting so light it's hard to read. The chain it comes on is ve.ry cheap

The listing explicitly describes and explains the difference between a bright and dark engraving. Examples showing the difference unambiguously are also pictured. The customer chose the bright engraving instead of the dark variant. It's quite unfair to complain about her own choice and mistake now. The chain is a sturdy solid 925 sterling silver chain, which is as well clearly visible in the pictures of the listing and matches the pendant perfectly.

1 out of 5 starsApparently, No Way Out means no way the owner will help you. I received two of these meant for my daughters. One was illegible. The owner Christine told me nothing like that would ever leave her workshop. Well it was and it did! I did not ask for money back or even a new necklace, just a better engraved charm. The answer was no. I do not recommend this shop.

It's disheartening to witness a customer resorting to wordplay with our shop's name and opting for a personal attack instead of maintaining a factual perspective. Allow me to reiterate that we've clearly communicated that engravings may exhibit variations from one piece to another due to the inherent nature of handcrafted items. I vehemently dispute the assertion that the engraving is illegible. I meticulously document each piece before it departs our premises, a practice diligently observed in this particular order. The image was shared with a diverse group of friends, all of whom unequivocally confirmed the readability of the text. With third-party testimony attesting to its unequivocal legibility, there was no basis to initiate a redo or withhold it from leaving our workshop.

5 out of 5 starsBeautiful ring. Just as lovely as the star ring. The personalized message to my Angel baby boy is heartwarming and full of love. The width of the ring, the shiny finish as well as the cutout makes it a beautiful piece of jewelry. Easy ordering, well tracked delivery. Five stars is not enough for this ring!

Unfortunately the design is a major part of the work and time consuming, eventually.
What is the difference between bright and dark engraving?
In new jewelry the engraving is silver colored or bright.
This looks noble, but it's not exactly obvious. It's silver color embedded in silver color after all.
The engraving will darken with time. It may take days or weeks and reach its final dark color on its own.
Then the engraving stands out and is more obvious.
However, if you prefer to get this more obvious look from the beginning, you may want to order the dark engraving.
Then I use techniques to make the engraving dark from the beginning.
Where can I note my engraving specifications?
Please leave a note with your custom wishes in the "message to seller" box during checkout or send me a message here on Etsy after your purchase.
★ Please note, that you are verifying that all information is correct when you finalize your order. This includes punctuation, dates and spelling.

Care instructions
Please keep in mind that metal, when it comes in contact with air or the oils of your skin, does tarnish or darken. Darkened metal is a natural process and it depends on each individual person how long it will take before your piece tarnishes.
It can be brought to shine again by polishing with a silver cleaning cloth. Cleaning cloths often are available in good groceries or a jewelry shop.
I recommend that customers remove jewelry before going to bed, taking a bath or shower or participating in physical activity.
Exposure to certain harsh chemicals or environments will result in compromising the integrity of your jewelry. This includes, but is not limited to the following: perspiration, perfumes, cleaning agents, chlorine and salt water.
Gift wrapping and packaging
Each item comes nicely packaged in a beautiful organza bag and color matching ribbon. If you would like to add a note to your package, please contact me beforehand so I can include it for you.
How to measure the correct ring size
To determine your ring size using a ring you already own measure the rings inner diameter by measuring straight across the ring with a ruler. Read the inside dimensions in millimeters. This is the diameter of your finger, which corresponds to your size on the chart in my listings.
