This design depicts a Coast Guard national security cutter at full throttle, speeding head-on toward the viewer. The inscriptions "U.S. COAST GUARD" and the Coast Guard motto "SEMPER PARATUS" (always ready) are arced around the upper border. The hull number identifies the cutter Hamilton, named for Alexander Hamilton. This design depicts two iconic symbols of the Coast Guard, a life preserver ring and the racing stripe mark, which is found on almost all Coast Guard craft. The racing stripes are depicted with a heraldic hatching tradition to indicate color, with horizontal lines indicating the color blue and vertical lines indicating red. The Coast Guard emblem, which is part of the racing stripe mark, is also in the center. Inscribed into the life preserver ring are the Coast Guard’s core values “HONOR,” “RESPECT,” and “DEVOTION TO DUTY.”

"Amazing service and hospitality from the staff at IDC! Jason was so attentive and patient in our search for our ideal watches. He took us through several options, had us try every watch we were interested in, took our information and continued searching for options. A few hours later, we had our watches on hold and ready for pick up! He located a watch that I LOVE, and a unique piece for my husband. We are grateful to have found our new Jeweler for many pieces to come!"
"We loved our experience at IDC. Jason was very kind and patient with us. My fiancée and I found good options for our wedding bands. He made sure we found what we were looking for and provided all the details we needed, including comfort, value, and style. We also felt safe and comfortable at their shop, thanks to the double doors and security guard."
"Jason was absolutely amazing! Extremely professional and very knowledgeable in helping us with the ring selection process. We actually ended up taking his advice on the bands and are very happy with our decision. We absolutely enjoyed our wedding band shopping experience and would recommend Jason to future buyers as well!"
"Lila was extremely helpful. My finance and I were on a tight time crunch to get wedding bands and she was very knowledgeable and swift with making sure we had rings for our ceremony. She suggested great bands and was so kind and honest through our selection. I will definitely return to IDC and always ask for Lila!"
