Ring Pendant
Today’s military members are spending more and more time overseas on deployments and special assignments. Over 1.8 million men and women have served in Iraq or Afghanistan and the frequency and duration of these deployments isn’t likely to decrease any time soon. If you have a friend or loved who will be serving overseas, deployment gifts are a great way to show your support, pride, and appreciation.
You might wonder what the perfect deployments gifts are for your friends or loved ones. There are a number to choose from, including military rings and other jewelry. If your solider, sailor, or airman has already deployed, you should consider shipping charges and customs requirements. Depending on where they are located, it may be difficult to ensure that your gift reaches them without an inspection by local customs agents. Contact the postal service in your area to make sure you know what can and cannot be shipped to your soldier’s location.
Deployment gifts, such as military rings, give the recipient a chance to display their pride in their service and duty. Some of the rings might have an insignia for the specific branch of service they are in, such as the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, or a branch of the Reserves. Other rings may represent a specific unit, battalion, or squadron. These rings can be personalized with the service man or woman’s name or a short message. It’s one of the best ways to recognize their service and many will wear these pieces of military jewelry for the rest of their lives.
Military care packages are always well received, such as those with cookies, cards, books, magazines, or personal hygiene items. These personalized deployment gifts are sure to put a smile on their face and let them know you are thinking of them during this difficult time. With some deployments lasting a year or more, you’re probably thinking of sending more than just one gift. That’s quite all right, as each gift will be well received.
Deployment gifts might also include a book on the history of their family crest and coat of arms, a challenge coin, or a pendant with a special inscription. These deployment gifts will be cherished and will serve as a reminder that someone at home cares about them and wants their safe return. Deployments are hard, not only on the service men and women, but also on those who remain at home. While it’s a way of life in the Armed Forces, it’s certainly not easy. Deployment gifts can help show how much you care.
In closing, if a friend or loved one is deployed or will do so soon, consider deployment gifts as a way of showing your love, pride, and respect for these men and women who serve abroad. A military ring, pendant, care package, or other gift is certain to put a smile on their face and keep you close to their heart. The sacrifices made by service men and women today must not be forgotten.

Where can I buy bulk blank pendant and ring trays for resin jewelry?
I’m looking for blank square and circle pendant trays and ring trays for resin jewelry making. I can only seem to find people selling it on etsy and artfire, but it is so expensive. Is there somewhere I can buy a bunch of them for a good price? Thanks fellow crafters!
I think you’re looking for pendant “trays” and ring “bezels”, etc, for putting clear resin into (usually over images, or other things), to make the pendants and rings themselves, right?
(They’re also called cabachon settings, charm blanks, bead frames, and photo “Italian charms” once finished, etc, and ring bezels or well blanks, etc.)
If so, check out some of the sources from these searches:
