kumacrafts: After months of problems with 3d printing our Garnet Orbs we finally have some in stock right now. Also we still have a few of our other Sailor Moon inspired designs still in stock (eternal necklaces, luna ps, prism heart compacts, holy grails, etc). The rest of the images are of a super awesome prototype I’ve been dying to share with you! We are trying a new process, 3d printing using precious metals. The garnet orb is printed with solid sterling silver, and hand polished to an amazing shine. It’s dimensions measure the same as our regular (plastic) garnet orb, 1 5/8” (~42mm) in width and 1-7/8” (~48mm) in height. The silver garnet orb weighs around 13g, so it has some weight to it like finer jewellery pieces! ♥ Since we are dealing with silver, if we offered this item for sale it would retail at $175 (and come with a sterling silver chain). They would be offered on a pre-order basis with a wait time of 6-8 weeks. We also are considering a smaller version about 1 1/8” (~27 mm) in width around 1 3/16” (~31 mm) in height, but we do not have a proper prototype yet. Again, we’re not sure if we’re going to embark on this expensive endeavour, so it all depends on your response. If you like what you see please reblog! Given enough interest, we’ll start accepting preorders and get production rolling. Also feel free to let us know what other designs you would like to see in metal. -- source link
