The upcoming Father’s Day weekend has us thinking of our favorite paternal marvels and wondering how we could express our love for them through a meaningful gift.
Our favorite idea this year is a monogrammed secret message pendant! The focal piece of this design is two separate metal blanks attached together on a single jump ring. The front blank is stamped with dad’s initials - it’s simple, clean, nothing too cutesy. The second blank hides behind the monogrammed pendant with a secret note that only he knows about. This concealed message of love and special meaning will always be there for him to find.
Add a leather cord to finish the necklace and you have a sharp, thoughtful gift for dad!

For another man friendly look, personalized pendants can also be paired up on a metal ball chain necklace to imitate the look of military dog tags. If your pop isn’t the type to wear jewelry, stamped blanks can easily be incorporated into other personalized gifts such as key chains and bookmarks!
Gentleman Jewelry Trend
Cufflinks and watches are no longer the only way for men to add stylish detail to their look. Men’s jewelry has been gaining in popularity and is expected to stick around as a trend. In recent years, many men have become increasingly style-conscious. More and more often, their look includes accessories such as bracelets or necklaces to add personality.
Men’s jewelry often showcases organic components. Popular choices for stringing materials include leather, suede and other natural cording. Beads made of wood, stone, shell and bone are most commonly used. These types of beads offer a less feminine look and also tend to have larger holes, serving a dual purpose when trying to combine them with thicker stringing materials such as leather.
We think that the best presents are handmade gifts from the heart, so gather your letter stamps, leather and all your boy-friendly beads. We can’t wait to see your man-tastic creations!
