I am not a big jewelry fan. But I did see a few "mother's" necklaces I like. So, combining the styles I like, I am making my own. Last year I got my sister (that I just saw in Ohio this past weekend) a metal stamping block. I knew she had the stamps (except for Q and Z which is another story altogether). So I ordered some blank 1/2" wide disks in silver and took them with me to Ohio.
My mom used to make bead jewelry, and she let me raid her stash for most of the stones. I only had to buy the "emerals" on the first two (for my husband and eldest son). Keith added the first March birthday to our family.
Here are the stamped discs. I did the first initial of all my children, then in afterthought did my husband, SIL, and grandson.

I accidentally left my camera at the party. My husband asked me if it was mine upon finding it. So I stamped myself a camera tag as well and attached it to the bead that was on the handle already. The scratches aren't as obvious when it is viewed as a 1/2"-wide disc. Here it is:

Unique and clever jewellery, I'm like you, I don't wear much but have some favourites. Great idea with the disc for the camera :-)
If you need to add more, you can just mail the disk to your sister so she can stamp it for you and send it back. With 8 kids, you might (probably will) get a lot of grandchildren!! I can hardly imagine!
