ATLA-inspired jewelry preview

[misora]

So as I discussed in zutarotica recently, I have opened up an etsy shop! The purpose is to create and sell jewelry (fine gemstone and otherwise) inspired by Avatar: the Last Airbender. ^^ Geeky, I know, but I was inspired to embark on it after seeing these posts in avatar_fans, and the idea took hold and wouldn't let me go. I've had a thing for making jewelry

These are gorgeous! I'm really torn between the pink quartz and the dragon/Phoenix one. Do you have a guesstimate for prices?

[misora]

I know! I've really taken a liking to them, myself. I have more in store for FN jewelry, and I think you're gonna really like it. ^^

I would say preliminary estimates for the dragon/phoenix necklace will be somewhere in the area of $40, while the cherry quartz necklace/bracelet will be more like $25 or so. :)

Oh, that's not too bad. I was thinking like over $50. We have a friend that does them and Robert had bought me a necklace last year for my b-day and it ran close to $100. It had lots of turquoise beads and sterling silver. I don't know enough about that to say she overcharged or not.

By any chance would have leads on Chinese-style Horses? My son and I are both Horses so I thought that would be awesome.

Yeah, I think the price of individual pieces will depend on the prices/scarcity of stones that I've bought. Some will be pricier than others. ;) Also depends on the wire and findings (sterling and/or gold-filled compared to plated metal) and time spent on each piece, etc.

I haven't been on the lookout for Chinese Horse zodiac pieces (John is a Dragon and I'm an Ox), but I'll definitely let you know if I see something!

beautiful, beautiful pieces. Thea amonite fossil is especially attractive to me. I can't wait to see what you do with them.

Thanks!! I've already gotten started on a few of these, and I hope to have at least 6-8 pieces or so from the first elemental group (haven't decided if I'm going to get the Fire Nation jewelry done first, or the Water Tribe) done around January or so. ^^

these are very pretty. I'm curious. How did you find them? Is there like a gem shop or something?

[misora]

A couple of them, such as the ammonite and the volcanic cherry quartz, were obtained at a local gemshop near me. The other two, the carnelian and jasper pendants, were obtained on ebay. :D

The bulk of my jewelry supplies actually come from ebay (semi-precious stones, pearl, crystals) and etsy (wire and metal findings). But I hit up the (slightly more expensive) gemshops around here for the more hard-to-find pieces.

LOVE the wolf's head! :)

[misora]

It's cool, isn't it? :D The carving looked too good to pass up. Plus it looked like something either Hakoda or Sokka would wear. :D

[miss_sassy]

These are all amazing :)

I LOVE the flower. That's absolutely gorgeous. The wolfhead is perfect for Sokka, too.

I'm glad you like it! I have more stones that I didn't show (wanted some of them to be a surprise), but hopefully you'll like those as well! ;)
