Getting started with angel number necklaces
Woke up thinking about how people keep asking me about angel numbers lately. You know, like seeing 111 or 555 everywhere? Figured it’d be cool to make physical reminders folks can wear. Dragged my old jewelry supplies box from under the bed – dusty as hell.
Testing different number styles
Tried stamping tiny numbers on metal discs first. Total disaster. Hammer slipped, smashed my thumb, and the 888 looked like 000. Switched to dainty number charms instead. Bought three types:
- Bold block numbers for that chunky look
- Scripty handwritten style real fancy-like
- Minimalist stamped digits where you can see hammer marks
Chain drama and design fails
Thought this would be simple. Wrong. First chain I picked looked cheap as hell – turned my wrist green in two hours. Second one kept tangling in my hair. Settled on three options after wasting $40:
- Delicate snake chain disappears on skin
- Rope chain feels heavy and expensive
- Cord with leather ends for hippie vibes
Who should wear what
After wearing prototypes for a week, here’s my take: if you want people to ask about your numbers, go bold block with rope chain. For personal reminders, the tiny stamped digits on snake chain hides under shirts. And that script style? Looks gorgeous until you actually move – catches on sweaters constantly.
Final realization
Finished product photos looked fire on Instagram but damn, this ain’t some magical solution. That 111 won’t pay your bills. Still – if it makes you pause and think when you touch it? Maybe worth making.
