These rivets make cold connection a snap!
These can be used to snap two pieces of metal together, to add a little color to your blank or as a birthstone accent.
Stamped Alternatives
This pendant is a fun way to use Blanks and Design Stamps to create a whole new look altogether. We took 4 of our cute sterling silver Horseshoe blanks, stamped them with our classic Square Spiral Design Stamp and then riveted them all together to create this great shape. Try looking at blanks in new ways and see what you might come up with!
