Could you please help me find someone who could make a charm like the one below, but stamped onto metal?
I've tried looking on Etsy but I think I'm not searching with the correct words as I'm not really getting close to what I want. If you've got some time, and the interest, could you help a girl out? Doesn't matter if it comes on a bracelet or not, as I plan on incorporating it into another bracelet.
Thanks a bunch!
ETA, sorry the pic is so small. If you can't tell, the coordinates are carved into bone in the original. I plan on giving this to someone who is a vegan, so I think using bone isn't such a grand idea for him.

You could do this yourself with a polymer clay from the craft store and either good writing with a fine tip stylus or a small stamp set.
The clay costs about $2 and all you have to do is warm it up in your hands to make it workable, make the shape of the "charm" and then stamp the message and bake it per package instructions (poke holes before baking)

My jewelry instructor makes stuff out of bone regularly. it grosses me out.
JoAnn fabric has a whole section of cut metals for stamping. Way more expensive than clay.

Use latitude longitude bracelet as your search terms on etsy. I got 2445 results. A lot are bangles but many of the first hits I see have a charm kind of like your picture. |

I don't know that the bone would bother me since it was not killed specifically to get the bone. It seems to me more like making good use out of every speck of the animal that was used for food and probably clothing, etc. I wouldn't be bothered by it, but you know your friend the best. I have some beautiful buttons that are made from horn. Now, I just accepted the artist's story that the antlers were from her brother's deer meat kills and that she was trying to make use of all parts of the animal. Making use of bone or horn doesn't upset me as much as the thought of killing the deer for food does. I am strange, I know.
You can purchase sets of numbers at Hobby Lobby to use with polymer clay if your writing isn't as accurate as you would like.
