Hand Stamped Jewelry

For a while now, I've been wanting to try my hand at making hand stamped jewelry.  I really love being able to make something that is sentimental and has meaning for a person.  My first venture was to create a necklace for my sister.  I hand stamped silver discs with the initials of her children and wire wrapped gemstones to signify each one of their birthdays.  I gave the necklace to her this past Christmas.  She's worn it everyday since. :-)  Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures of that particular necklace, but I have made many since.  I wanted to share a few of them with you.  Let me know what you think!
