Men's Custom Silver and Leather Father's Day Gift
Need an idea for a Father's Day Gift? Take a look at this handmade leather cuff. This one is designed with an inspirational quote from Abraham Lincoln, but you can personalize the bracelet with any text you want. Watch the video and see how we use our online jewelry design software to create the layout.

For this Men's jewelry design we selected a rugged thick men's leather cuff. The text is a quote says, "You can tell the Greatness of a Man by what makes him angry." The design is pretty straightforward with just a little variation in the choice of fonts. I used a mix of script and typewriter to emphasize the word "greatness". For the word "Man" I used typewriter. The remaining text is done in a small block font.
Guys can be difficult to design for - if you go for something that is on the rugged side and strikes a chord, you can't go wrong.


Recently, one of our long-time employees, Shannon, moved on to pursue another career. While we were excited for him, it was bittersweet to part with someone who has been with us from nearly the start. How do you convey your appreciation to a person that committed themselves to working at a small family business? Just saying the words can be nice, but may still lack the impact that matches their service. To thank Shannon properly, we followed the advice we so often give our customers; giving a gift that you take the time and effort to thoughtfully design will stand the test of time. We wanted something that would remind Shannon of how grateful we are for the years he spent at Metal Pressions. After some brainstorming with the team we decided a money clip was the perfect item.

Money clips can be the ideal gift for many occasions, and like our recent recommendation for Key Chains, are great for people who are fashion averse. We chose to create a simple design on the front with our new soldered 14k gold letters. We added a touch of subtle sophistication with a black diamond beside the initial of his last name. On masculine designs we lean toward a clean bolder look.
The back of a money clip has the real estate we needed to add a longer personal message. We hope that every time he takes it and looks at it or just feels the impressions, it brings a smile to his face. The money clip came out perfect and the back says it all.

We recently started offering custom shirt studs at the request of some of our customers. The first few sets were thick round shirt studs with symbols on the front.
One of our clients wanted shirt studs to match the 14K white rimmed cufflinks that were being designed in honor of one of their favorite horses, to be worn at special events. In our typical fashion we fulfilled our client's request by making small solid gold rimmed shirt studs. The front text was stamped in our Fancy font and the back was done in typewriter font. A 14k solid white gold raised heart really adds that finishing touch to the cufflinks.
