Have yours customized for a truly one-of-a-kind anniversary gift or precious gesture. Handmade in Brooklyn.

“I'm a big collector, so the entire space is inspiration. I'm constantly rearranging and dragging in new stuff, so the space is constantly evolving.”
The son of a craftsman, Aaron Ruff grew up with a strong sense of artistry and construction. Working as both a carpenter and cabinetmaker, he enrolled at Parsons to study furniture design. But after taking a class in jewelry making, Aaron soon discovered his true craft. While enjoying the familiarity and technique of creating furniture, he found a more intimate connection with constructing objects that people could actually wear and behold. This connection is distinct in each one of his well-crafted pieces. Working out of Brooklyn, Aaron draws from his childhood fantasies of exploration, which lends a playful quality to his work.

I absolutely adore this necklace. It's unique, understated and charming. I see a lot of complaints about the size of the stump, and I'm surprised. Personally, I wouldn't want a huge, heavy charm hanging from my neck. For me, this gift isn't about showing off the initials carved into it or the detail of the tree -- it's about the sentiment and thought that went into purchasing it. I'm thrilled my boyfriend would find a piece of jewelry that not only reflects my taste and style, but that also represents our relationship and love. Any woman with a love of creative, unique gifts will appreciate this item and love it just the way it is. It's a one-of-a-kind.. That's a pretty darn special necklace to wear.

This product has custom initials carved into it, they are almost undetectable. The chain that comes with the product could be found at a local SUPERSTORE. For the price that I paid for this product, I would have expected MUCH better quality and workmanship.

Comments about UncommonGoods Personalized Stump Necklace:
The necklace charm itself is beautiful and as described. The problem is that the loop at the top of the charm looks cheap and I'm not sure how durable it will be. In addition, the chain is a dull grey rather than a matching shiny silver, and sadly takes away from the entire necklace a bit. Before I ordered it, I had no problems with the price, given that it's a customized piece. Upon receiving it, however, I felt like it was really only worth $50 to $70.
Service and delivery comments:
Service was great and delivery was as promised.
Comments about UncommonGoods Personalized Stump Necklace:
I honestly loved this necklace so much. I really don't get the reviews saying it's too small. Preference aside, I can't imagine wanting it to be much larger. Everyone has their own taste, I suppose :) Anyway! It's a gorgeous necklace and there's no doubt whoever the recipient is will love it.
The chain itself is the only that thing could possibly concern me, in terms of how durable it may be. It's easy to swap out a chain should anything ever happen to it, though. I'd still give this necklace 5 stars, easily.

Comments about UncommonGoods Personalized Stump Necklace:
The traditional gift for our anniversay this year was silver holloware and this was perfect. Other reviews mentioned that the pendent is small and the engraving is hard to read. It is small and you do have to really look to read the engraving, but that was a good thing for me. I wanted something unique and personal. I love it. I did purchase a different chain, but that's because I'm picky. Delivery was faster than I expected. I'm very happy with it.

Comments about UncommonGoods Personalized Stump Necklace:
My son ordered this for his bride to be. Their wedding invitations had a similar theme with a tree and their initials on the trunk. He felt this would be nice reminder of their special day.
The piece of jewelry is packaged in a very nice short tin can with the artist's logo on the cover.
I found the chain too long and the clasp difficult. If this were mine, I would switch out the chain. But the actual piece of jewelry is very well made and unique.

Comments about UncommonGoods Personalized Stump Necklace:
Before ordering this necklace, I read the pre-existing reviews and noticed several objected to the size of the item (small). I bought it anyway - knowing my purpose was largely "meaningful" in nature. Now that I have received the necklace, I have some considerations to add on the subject of "size". When you think of a stump, it's tempting to think of something massive in nature. It's easy to avoid the adaptation of making it "small" in expectation. The piece is appropriate in size. It hangs with a noticeable weightiness and feels considerably heavy in your palm. Still, its size adds discretion and appeal to the private nature of the piece without threatening the clarity of the inscription which is deep and tidy. I cannot imagine wanting to wear a three dimensional piece like this in a larger size. My son and I are each wearing it from time to time - it bears our two initials (mom and child). Perfect for both of us - I am a lean, 5'8" woman and he is a slight 8 year old. He can slip it over his head without dealing with the clasp. He likes that he can remove it and offer it to me all on his own which adds to the ongoing nature of the "gift".
