1. This is a serpent ring made of 20 gauge nickel silver (you
will need to choose something without nickel in it, may affect
price). It may be hard to tell form the scan but it wraps around
your finger instead of joining like a normal band. The head was
soldered on, but if you want it in one piece that can be done
too, but there will be a lost sense of depth and there will be
no eye unless requested. The spines on the piece will be filed
down so they are not very sharp anymore, but it is still possible
to cut yourself on the piece. I only cut myself once on the original
after wearing it for a few months and the spines were really sharp.
Estimated time to complete: 1 week
single piece: $5
soldered: $7
2. This is part 1 of a 3 series morph pin. It is 5 layers including the pinback, made from 20 gauge nickel silver and brass. Most of the brass has been sandblasted to get the sparkly look, or was burnished/polished and the nickel silver was abraded by a few different types of dremel tool sanding bits. It is put together with rivets and they were filed down so you cannot see them(at least on the front). It is possible to get either the eagle or the panther instead of both conected to each other and other metals may be chosen (may affect price). Estimated time to complete: 3 weeks
pin as seen above: $30
Lion or eagle: $15 each
3. This is part 2 of a 3 series morph pin. It is 5 layers including the pinback, made from 20 gauge nickel silver and brass. Most of the brass has been sandblasted to get the sparkly look, or was burnished/polished and the nickel silver was abraded by a few different types of dremel tool sanding bits. It is put together with rivets and they were filed down so you cannot see them(at least on the front). It is possible to get the eagle part separately and other metals may be chosen (may affect price). Estimated time to complete: 2-3 weeks
Pin as seen above: $20
Eagle: $15
4. This is part 3 of a 3 series morph pin. It has 6 layers including the pin back, made from 20 guage nickel silver and brass. Most of the brass has been sandblasted to get the sparkly look, or was burnished/polished and the nickel silver was abraded by a few different types of dremel tool sanding bits. It is put together with rivets and they were filed down so you cannot see them (at least on the front). Other metals may be chosen (may affect price). The black areas on the pin are just shadows from the light reflecting at a odd angle. There is a lot of metal in this pin so it is a bit heavy and could cause problems for wearablility. Estimated time to complete: 3 weeks
Griffon pin: $40

The prices will be dependent on the size, gauge and type of
the metal
Due to the price of some metals payment may need to be made before
the piece is made, if it is not already made, this will apply
to Gold, Sterling Silver, Platinum, and due to availability, Titanium.
Gauge:
What is gauge? Gauge is the thickness of the metal, sheet metal
in this case. If you have a piece of metal that is 18 gauge for
example then it's thickness is 1/18th of an inch; so 18 of them
would make an inch. A 22 gauge piece of metal would be 1/22th
of an inch; and 22 of them would make a inch. Therefore the smaller
the gauge number is the thicker the sheet of metal will be.
Things that can be made:
Chokers
Ear cuffs
Earrings
Rings
Necklaces
Bracelets
Pins
Armbands
Headbands
Hair clips---if I can find the clip parts
Due to an allergic reaction of the body anything that contains
Nickel will not be made into something that will have prolonged
exposure to the skin, such as rings, bracelets, earrings, and
ear cuffs. Nickel can make you very sick, I found that out the
hard way.
Stones (Necklaces, bracelets, and earrings only at this point)
Some stones are expensive so payment may be needed in advance.
Almost all of these come in various sizes of round beads, others
are pebble, and sometimes oval.
Final Prices are based on materials and my time, plus shipping
& handling
