What I wanted to share with you all, is the story I found when I researched the Stuart Nye Jewelry's Famous Dogwood Design pin I had bought at a resale shop.</p><p style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: 16px"><font face="Verdana"><span style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20)"><a href="https://stuartnye.com/product-overview" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://stuartnye.com/product-overview" rel="nofollow">https://stuartnye.com/product-overview</a>. </span></font></span></p><p>They use hand made tools to cut and hammers to fashion their pins and other jewelry.
