1.2.3.4.

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: $10

soldered: $15

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: $50

Lion or eagle: $25 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: $40

Eagle: $25

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: $60

The prices will be dependent on the size, gauge and type of the metal
Payment is must be recieved before the piece is made, if it is not already made, if made of Gold, Sterling Silver, Platinum, and 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 should not be made into something you will have in prolonged exposer to the skin.

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
Necklaces made on 7 strand plastic coated wire.

Terms uesd above:
Het treated: brings out more color in the stone.
Dyed:The stone was dyed to get the color.
Bleached:Was Bleached to make it white, or lighter in color.
Irradiated:Also brings out color in the stone. Stones are tested and not radioactive.
Imitation:It isn't real. Most likely man made.
Oiled:Gives the stone a shine.
Stabilized: not sure, being that it reffered to with turquioise, probably means it will not fall apart.

I can now set stones, in tube settings, bezel settings and prong settings(pictures soon). I am not very good at the prong settings yet though, they are much harder than they look.
