Throughout
history, mankind has put messages in stone. As artisans
of today, Nancy and Jimmy Chandler do the same for
you. “We hand etch your chosen words
in natural stone. Our slate and stone are natural,
not manufactured,” they stress.
Set In Stone is a family enterprise in Hardy, Arkansas.
Nancy and Jimmy are both natives of Arkansas – Nancy
comes from Bentonville in the Ozarks and Jimmy is originally
from Marianna in the Mississippi Delta region. They
met in Bentonville in 1974, married, and resided there
until relocating to Hardy in 1999. Here, they are close
to Jimmy’s family. You’ll see Einstein
the Airedale terrier and their family pet, on the website.
If you visit them, you will, no doubt, meet him, too.
The Chandlers select their slate and stones from locations
around the world. Therefore, expect some color variations
and imperfections. No two pieces are identical in size,
shape, or color. If the slate or stone you choose is
already sold, they will reproduce the etching on a
similar type slate or stone for you.
They also do custom etching on glass, or you may wish
to order custom etching on glass items you provide.
Some of their hand etched products are: landscape
accents, home décor accents, garden markers,
wedding, baby, birthday and anniversary gifts, pet
memorials, and additional items with personal meaning. “We
strive to provide an artisan piece you will enjoy for
many years to come in your home, garden, or business.” With
innovative design and their high quality of workmanship,
they show that they are dedicated to your satisfaction.
Nancy and Jim are pleased to be able to market their
products on their website. When you order
online, they
pledge to always protect your private information.
