Shawn Didyoung is a master goldsmith with part-time engagement in Western silversmithing and custom engraving. Didyoung’s time as a working cowboy in Texas and New Mexico instilled in him a deep appreciation for handmade gear. As a result, he was motivated to pursue a career in silversmithing due to his desire for high-quality, artisan-crafted items. Didyoung takes great pleasure in sharing his expertise in Western silversmithing and in helping others who have an interest in learning.
