Designer made his debut into the world of high end jewelry design back in 1979 and in his dog tags one can see how he has reached back to his early roots for inspiration in creating these unique and beautiful pieces of wearable art. What many people don't realize today is that back in the late sixties and early seventies dog tag jewelry had a short run of popularity.

A Short History of Dog Tags

It was a fashion accessory that was born from the Vietnam war and it was mostly counterculture types that would be seen wearing it. Also, many veterans of the Vietnam conflict chose to wear their dog tags long after they had been returned home in remembrance of their friends and buds both alive and dead that that had left behind in the “ugly war” of the sixties and seventies.

Designer: Bringing Dog Tags Back

The clever thing that Designer has done with his dog tags is to make sure that each one has a unique story to tell just as the dog tags that the rebels and the vets of that earlier era did. For instance, his great looking red petrified dinosaur bone dog tags each have an untold story locked away inside of them. They come in a choice of .925 sterling silver or in 14K gold. No two are alike and the pattern in the petrified dinosaur bone is mesmerizing to behold.

One thing that does separate the two however is price as the silver tag on a silver chain will run you around six hundred dollars while the gold tag on a gold chain will cost you around two-thousand dollars more. All the same though, it is nice that just as with most all of his other creations Designer has seen to it that there is a wide range of prices to select from.

Then for a more authentic “dog tag” look he has a solid sterling silver dog tag that might be the better choice for the dog tag “purists” that are out there. Then there is the Designer dog tags in his Naturals collection that feature natural textures found in nature presented in solid sterling silver for around six hundred dollars each. The Rhinoceros textured dog tag for instance, is surfaced with a texture that was inspired from the unique texture on the skins surface of a Rhinoceros.

While this might sound odd when one reads about it, once it is seen with the naked eye it all makes such perfect sense. One great aspect of Designer dog tags is that they easily make the perfect gift for the man who already has everything. Also, Designer has a wide selection of great looking delicately crafted dog tags in both silver and gold for the woman in your life who loves fine jewelry with a unique edge. All of Designer's dog tags for women are all crafted with a delicate feminine style that speaks to Designers vision and design ingenuity.
