My daughter decided to make jewelry stuff

Well, just for my two cents worth, I doubt I met her at the Claremore event where we went to the Davis museum and had lunch, but I still brag on you and your "ladies" quite a bit.

If no one has mentioned it yet, tell your daughter that she is definitely an ARTIST!!!!

I do too! Also, my wife was quite impressed with them (I can't explain what a feat that is).

Truly outstanding work. Now show some pics of your wife...

...and her leather work.

I believe this is some of her work. Jerod made the knife.

NICE!

Now, most importantly, she has to create a stamp and trademark it, stamping ALL of her pieces.

How many times on the Antiques Roadshow have you seen the experts say, "Unfortunately, they didn't sign all their pieces, especially in their early years, so we really cannot determine if this is one of theirs"?

This is exactly what my aunts didn't do very often. There are literally thousands of pieces out there with no form of signature.

I don’t know a dang thing about jewelry and such, but I think your daughter has a bright future if she continues down this path.

I think you did. I think I had all three daughters with me that day but no wife. This is the oldest one.

Then I stand corrected. My age and my memory has fooled me into thinking that there were only two of them there. I'm still greatly impressed with your whole family, perhaps largely because of how the two of you are raising your daughters.

(You may question yourself once in a while, but I'd say kudos to you and the wife.)

I made a few sets of spurs a couple years ago. I bought a fancy engraving machine and all the necessary stuff to do silver mountings but never attempted the silver work. She will probably use the $3k worth of engraving tools more than me. Lol. Heck I’m waiting for her to get dialed in and then I’ll build the spurs and let her handle the silver work. Ya see………..it was alllllll part of the plan. (Say that in Don Knotts voice)

Speaking as someone who was doing a bit of that sort of thing about 50 years ago, your daughter is doing some **** fine work! I dabbled for about another 25 years... never got as good as she is already. Tell her to keep at it. Might branch out and do some knife hilts, too.
