Made to order. Produced for your order rather than pulled off a shelf — allow 3 to 5 business days to make it (3 to 7 for printed apparel), then shipping time. Personalized pieces can’t be cancelled or returned once production starts, unless they arrive faulty.

Some mothers teach you to be nice. Yours taught you to be warm without being easy.

MY FIRST FIRE — printed on clear acrylic and lit from a solid base. The words carry the piece. No stock photo of someone else’s family, just the line and who it’s for.

  • Clear acrylic panel, printed in full color at 300 DPI
  • Choose a corded LED base or a battery-powered LED base
  • Legible lit or unlit
  • Made to order

For Christmas, for her birthday, or for a Tuesday when she should hear it.

Before you buy

Will it turn my skin green?

Depends what's underneath the gold. Plating over stainless or titanium steel won't - steel doesn't react with sweat that way. Plating over copper or alloy can, because copper oxidizes against skin and the mark it leaves is green. It's harmless and it washes off. Check the material line on this page: it says which one this piece is.

Will it tarnish?

Sterling silver will, eventually - that's silver reacting with sulfur in the air, and it goes black rather than green. A polishing cloth takes it off. Platinum-plated silver resists it for much longer. Gold plating doesn't tarnish; it wears, which is a different problem with the same look.

Is it waterproof?

Water-resistant, not waterproof. Showers, swimming and hot tubs shorten the life of any plated piece - chlorine and salt are the worst of it. Take it off first and you'll double how long it looks new.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Stainless steel, titanium steel and 925 sterling silver are the safest bets here. Plated alloy is the one to avoid if nickel is your problem. If you react to cheap earrings, stay in the steel and silver collections.

How do I make it last?

Last on, first off - after perfume, lotion and hairspray, before the shower and the gym. Wipe it with a soft cloth after wearing. Store it dry and separate, in the pouch it came in. That's most of it.
