1911 Pistol Pendant

John M. Browning designed the 1911 pistol which was the standard-issue side arm for the United States armed forces from 1911 to 1985.  Since this was the 100th anniversary of one of the great weapons of all time, I thought I should make a 1911 pistol pendant as a tribute to our military and John Browning. This pistol was the backbone of our fighting troops and many shooting sports enthusiasts use these designs today for competition shooting and protection.

The 1911 pistol pendant

is great for shooters and enthusiasts alike, it is all sterling silver with brass handles and has great detail, all hand stamped designs and fabricated with recycled sterling silver. This 1911 pistol pendant is the kind of piece someone would cherish for a lifetime. The 3mm Anchor chain is separate and it is assembled by us for this project.

Most 1911 pistol pendant

are of the cast type this piece is hand cut out of sheet material. The designs are then hand stamped into the metal. The pieces are silver soldered together and then a great polish is applied.  The 1911 pistol pendant is a classic,  make sure you get one of these great tributes to John Browning and his great inventions.

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.

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 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

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.

Shotgun charm for competition shooter

K80 Krieghoff Shotgun Charm

K80 Krieghoff Shotgun Charm

This last week a friend of mine who shoots competition shotguns asked me if i could make a replica of his favorite shotgun to hang from his truck mirror. I wasn’t sure how i was going to proceed so i got a picture of his shotgun and started to draw a pattern. This was not going to be like the Glock Pistol I did last year. So I just decided to jump in with no more thinking about it.  The vent rib on the top was the hardest part, each of those holes had to be drilled and then cut one by one with a jewelers saw. Overall its about 2.75 inches. I had breakfast with him on Saturday and watched his eyes light up when he saw the finished product. Projects like this are not always the normal jewelry project for most jewelers. They can be fun, challenging and very rewarding. This particular charm might make a good design for a Money Clip for the Holidays.
