Pharmacy Technician Gifts for Grads

Pharmacy Tech Pendant

Pharmacy Tech Pendant

I was recently asked to design a pendant for a family that had a Pharmacy Technician Graduate, so I started to look around at the current availability in the market place and found that really none existed. So with pencil in hand I scratched out some designs and decided on this one. I did it in the style I use for my other medical pendants like the Veterinary pendants that I make that are so popular. I presented it to my customer and they thought it was great. Then they asked if it could be a lapel pin and I said of course. This is a hand made item not a casting, it is cut by hand out of a piece of Eco Friendly Sterling Silver and hand finished to perfection. Your graduate spent a great deal of time working on their studies, this piece shows the pride you and they have for their new profession. Pictures of the original piece were not available for publication…..shown is the actual pencil drawing of the design..

Physical Therapist Assistants Graduation Gifts

Physical Therapist Assistants Symbol Sterling Silver PendantOne of the people that work in a local Rehab department contacted me and asked if i had ever made any pieces for Physical Therapist Assistants. I said no but i would love to design it for you. We took our basic Registered Nurse medical design and added PTA the designation for the particular discipline. This particular gift was going to a new graduate but anyone in this important medical field would love to wear one.

Fathers Day Gift Ideas

Father and Sons

Father and Sons

Fathers day is coming soon and many of us find it hard to find something special for dad on that day. One of my friends several years ago came up with an idea about the Penguins( a father and his two sons). It was a great idea and we have made them in several configurations for several years. Maybe someone will come up with a new classic but this one still stands as one of the best. We also do many names, motorcycles,fish, boats,planes and trains for dad every year. Fathers day gift ideas are sometimes hard to figure out, but usually DAD has something he is interested in and we can customize it into a Money Clip or Key Chain that he will use a year long.

Rooster Fish Money Clip -what a great project, a new fish for my collection. Fishing money clips are one of my passions. Fly Fishing is a great sport and we are lucky to live in Colorado where there is plenty of fishing opportunities. One of my customers requested this beautiful fish and although I have never caught one, I would love to do so. Money Clips and Key Chains make great venues for Fishing  themed gifts. Once in a while someone will ask for a hat pin, and sometimes I can do them depending on the fish. Let us design a fish piece for you….

Custom 2004 Corvette Money Clip

2004 Corvette Money ClipOne of my customers contacted me this holiday season for a money clip that needed to have a 2004 Corvette on it. The Customer also wanted the spring loaded style so that the recipient could put a drivers license ,credit cards and some cash in it. This particular project’s artwork was done in 14k yellow gold but could have been done in any metal such as silver or brass. After I made a drawing so that i would have a pattern to make the Corvette, I fabricated the Corvette and the initials for the project.  The yellow gold Corvette and initials looked stunning on the silver background and the clip was delivered to our customer for the gift giving occasion.

Bear Claw Pendant

Bear claw pendants are something you get asked to do from time to time when you live in the Southwest and make southwestern jewelry. This piece was commissioned by one of my customers recently and they had some scrap gold to use for the bear. The gold Bear which is attached to the silver cap is a Heartline Bear which symbolizes health, long life, and good luck. This Bear Claw was a fairly large one and the piece ended up outstanding.

Buffalo Nickel Earrings with Silver Feathers

Buffalo Nickel Earrings with Silver Feathers

Buffalo Nickel Earrings with Silver Feathers

The old classic buffalo nickel is back and what a great pair of earrings these Nickels make. Jessie White took an old feather pattern of mine and turned this classic into a spectacular pair of earrings. One of the things that always bothered me about southwest jewelry was the amount of cast items that are attached for this type of earring. These Feathers are the real deal each one hand fabricated as a silversmith really should. The Buffalo Nickel Earrings come in either Buffalo or Indian side out and make a wonderful addition to anyone’s  jewelry collection.
