Each of her pieces is hand-cast, the chart or map images are hand cut, and each piece is topped with boaters resin to create a natural dome that magnifies the artwork below.

I wanted to thank the artists and Uncommon Goods for the fast response and remaking of the necklace that had been a birthday gift to me from my sister.

The map is much clearer and easier to read, and I now have a new chain.

This necklace was a gift from my sister for my birthday. The mapped area in the necklace is difficult to read. Additionally after one wear out to my birthday dinner, the tiny clasp on the unsubstantial chain broke off when removing for the night and was not to be found.

Latitude Longitude Pendant through Uncommon Goods, also a gift from my best ever sister, was not as "fragile".

Service and delivery comments:

I called customer service in the hopes of not having to make my sister feel badly about the purchase or waste her time on a return, however, UG was unable to acquire the order number via our email addresss, phone numbers, our street addresses, etc.
Customer service said they could not have a return if I did not have an order no. I am awaiting that from my sister.

Comments about UncommonGoods Custom Map Pendant:

Perfect size and length. Something great about this piece is that you can easily layer it with other smaller/shorter necklaces. This is a very meaningful piece of jewelry for me........ the jewel shows the location where my husband and I were married. I was delighted with this purchase. This could be worn with a dress or tshirt and jeans.

She Loves It!

By Steve

from Indianapolis, IN.

Comments about UncommonGoods Custom Map Pendant:

Other than the print being a little small to see all the details I wanted to see, the pendant itself is a wonderful gift to give. Especially if you're picking a geographic area of sentimental considerations like mine, where the display showed where we spent our first date, the location where I proposed to her, and where we bought our first house (along with other points of interest significant to her youth).

Comments about UncommonGoods Custom Map Pendant:

I had the back engraved to say "where is all began" with the map of the town we met in. I got it for her just because I felt like she'd love it and being that I work in the field of geography it added just a little more meaning. She wears it with everything. It looks great with a dress or even just a nice shirt.

Comments about UncommonGoods Custom Map Pendant:

The workmanship is wonderful. The pendant is heavy, suggesting durability. The map is a good size for recognizing the locale. The chain measures 18 inches, but perhaps an option for a longer chain could be available.

Too Short

Comments about UncommonGoods Custom Map Pendant:

The pendant is simple but beautiful and heavy which tells me that it's durable. However, the chain is too short. I'll need to purchase a separate chain for my wife's comfort. That's not cool. Hopefully the artist will read this and provide longer chains in the future. I would still recommend this product, but the buyer should read this too.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Merchant response:We're sorry that our Custom Map Pendant wasn't just as you'd hoped and that the 18" chain is too short for your wife. We list dimensions like this in our Details section so that our customers can make informed decisions, but as we know all too well, sometimes you just have to see the item in person to know if it works or not. Thanks for shopping with UncommonGoods!

The sterling silver pendent with a colorful map of a RI beach on one side, represents the place where my wife & I met for the very first time. The date was 1963, and this gift was so creative, well made, and absolutely suitable for such a sentimental rememberance. We love it! SMS

This necklace had the location of a friend's family home of which the family lived for 40 years. It was perfect, and a wonderful surprise for my friend.
