Hot stamping a clochette/key bell

[berbils]

Whatever you decide vis a vis the size and number of characters, I would urge you to go for the blind (uncoloured) option as shown above in #8 & #10. It is very stylish and I have always chosen that option. After the initial thought that a splash of colour would have been fun, I have never regretted blind stamping.

Thank you! Do you know if color fades or peels after time? I am having a tough time deciding whether I want color or not.

I like the large one shiny initial on the clochette (like my avatar).

Thank you

I do not have any personal experience as to whether the colour fades, but I believe it is a long lasting process: the leather is first blind stamped and that indents the leather; then the colour is heat stamped in; whether it 'melts' the colour into the leather or not I do not know.
I am sure that if lots of users found the colour wearing or rubbing out it would be widely known.

None of my hotstamps have faded or peeled...my oldest is around 2 years old.

I've heard the foil versions do chip. My SA recommends against them.

I think maybe I'll go with no color. Now to decide if I want one initial or more

I like one large initial. My SA did warn me that over time the color might chip and just the imprint will remain.

I decided to go with no color and one large initial!
