Design-Your-Own-Stainless-steel-Pendants
Perhaps you want to commemorate your years on the force or give a gift to someone else who has served as an officer of the law. You can do both with a police pendant. Rather than getting a run-of-the-mill police pendant with a particular name simply engraved on top, you can go all out and design your own Stainless steel Pendants. Once it’s designed, you can have it custom-crafted for yourself or someone else.
Pick the size. Determine how big or small you want your pendant so you will know how detailed you can get and how much text will fit while still being legible. Draw an outline of a quarter on your page, and gauge your size from there. A quarter is a good size without being too large and gaudy, but you can always go bigger or smaller.
Figure out the base figure. Pick a police-related image that sums up the message you want to portray. An easy option is the police badge, which you can have engraved with pertinent details. Other options could include a gun, a Billy club, a police boot, police car, or perhaps something symbolic, like an eagle. You can also stick with a basic circle or square, and add details inside it. Sketch your figure. Check out other pendants for inspiration (see Resources).
Include any extra details. Decide if you want vines, flowers, scrolls, skulls or other small details around your main design. Sketch them onto your base figure. Also decide if you want any gemstones or other embellishments, and sketch them into place.
Add any text. Include your name, the police department, your squad number, pertinent dates or anything else you wish that will fit in your design without being too crowded. If you need more room, make your base figure larger, or get rid of extra details that may be taking up space.
Decide on your material and how you’ll wear it. Opt for gold, silver, white gold, sterling silver or even stainless steel. Pick a loop at the top to wear the pendant on a chain, or have it embedded in a ring or a pin back.
Take your design to a custom jeweler who can create a Stainless steel Pendants according to your specifications. Another option is to go with a company online.
