Title: Custom jewellery
Post by: Foxen on 21.01.2013, 11:47:47
I will most likely be having a stand at this year's convention, and will be selling prints and jewellery.

I will bring general jewellery such as paw print pendants and a couple of gaming related jewellery.

Example of jewellery:

How about a tiepin with your furname or a pawprint?

I will be bringing a fair amount of these:

The Hyrule Crests will be 70 euros a piece - they are made of 925 sterling silver and are 40mm from wingtip to wingtip.

It is possible to order custom made jewellery as well. If you have your own design in mind feel free to ask.
Silver is probably the most "realistic" metal in this case, but gold is possible too - it will be reflected in
the final price however. Custom jewellery must be paid for in advance and will be handed over at Eurofurence.

There are no limitation* to what kind of jewellery you can order. Pendants, rings, earrings, bracelets you name it.
* No jewellery that can be classified as "dirty".

Engraving can be done as well - I cannot promise I will be offering that service at Eurofurence though.

Have in mind that I am only acting as a dealer of the jewellery. :]

Deadline for custom jewellery is the 30th of April.

Do you have any examples of birds, especially birds of prey or could you imagine doing some kind of hawk on a tiepin?
If so, I might be interested.

No, sorry, there are no bird-jewellery which I can display as an example here and now.
It shouldn't be any problem however. Tiepins will cost between €80 to €100 depending
on complexity of the motive on it. You can either draw the design yourself, or I can
give you sketches of ideas.

Note that tiepins will be fairly limited - this is because despite their simplicity they
require more time and other type of tools.

could you make a ring with the Chinese symbol for Tiger, and if so how much?

Silver ring? In any case, you should have a picture of a ring which resembles the
size and type you're looking for. A thin ring is cheaper than one which is more massive.
Therefore it's hard to give an estimate. :)

Those look really really nice and well made - I especially like the lizard/gecko one :3

You mentioned that you're "only the dealer" of the jewelery in your post.
What exactly does that mean? Who actually MAKES the things you plan to sell?

The goldsmith is a friend of mine. She is not a furry however, and she won't attend EF. :-)

I will forward your compliment to the goldsmith. :)

€180-€220 would be a fair estimate. :) Depending on the thickness it could also be less.
