“Starting your own business – especially your first business – is no easy feat. Especially, when the products you create and sell are unlike any other and unlike anything UMI had previously worked on. We, Cymbals For Change, create jewelry cut from dormant and broken drum cymbals and by nature, cymbals are convex in shape. Sourcing an engraver who would willingly work on curved metal (where each individual piece/pendant is essentially has a different curvature than the last) was a major obstacle… until I met Mark and the UMMCO squad. The immediate vibe we got from UMI was “Oh yeah…we can do that! We’d be happy to work with you on this.” We had just locked in our fabricator separately the week before and with UMMCO on-board as our official engraver of drum cymbal jewelry, the stars had finally aligned. We love working with UMI in every capacity. They are very communicative, understanding, patient, kind, and above all have incredible attention to detail (even at the nano level!). Their pricing is also competitive and fair which was difficult for us to find. All in all, we cannot speak more highly of Mark, Vanessa and the UMI squad, and we look forward to working with them as our business continues to grow.”
