I am confused about how to register a trade mark for my jewelry. (am
I using the correct terminology) You’ve given me some good ideas on
where to get the tool made. Do I design the mark myself? Or is it
something that is established by a Trade Association or with the
government? Any is appreciated.

Dianne… Here’s all the info you will need for Copyrights, Patents
and Trademarks. VERY helpful. 
Red
Patents/Trademarks: http://www.uspto.gov
Copyrights: U.S. Code: Title 17 | U.S. Code | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute
Dianne, if you go to www.jvclegal.org/core.htm there is a hyperlink
on the opening page to the appropriate Govt office that will answer
all your questions re trademarking.

diane…if you want a particular sign/.logo/.symbol , it is best to
do a “search” via an attorney . They will check to see if it is
’taken" already or ok for you to use. you should go thru an
attorney…they have special attorneys for this . but now that there
is the internet, I would put in a search for “trademark” and it will
give you all the particulars, I bet, for getting started! good luck…ann
