Description Copper & Sterling Silver.

A little something different:


"The Order of the Cog issues it's new initiates a simple tag used to identify them in case of accident.

Due to the unusual nature of their exploratory and experimental activities beyond the edges of the Golden Empire, this happens quite often, and the Order re-issues the often battered tag to the next initiate to reduce expenses.

This tag and bracelet were found on a remote world several parsecs beyond the Empire's exploratory boundary by an advance scouting team. All metal on this world showed signs of the same damage, and the scouting team that returned these items noted evidence of some sort of alchemical reaction near the remains of a ship bearing the symbol of the Cog.
A number of immobile and lifeless metallic beetles and larvae were found, but no records or survivors survived to explain the dramatic events that must have occurred on this world.

As a precaution, the Order has imposed a quarantine on the world in question. Any items retrieved from the world must be carefully screened by the Order of the Cog before being sold or distributed. "


Necklace with copper ball chain: $45
Bracelet: $50
Both as a set: $80

I accept Paypal, and can ship to nearly any country for $7 shipping.

SOLD
I would be happy to make you something special in this style, just note me for commission prices & info.

It's supposed to look more like the larva ate it, but I'm glad you like it.
Thanks!

Are you open for commissions?

Thanks! I do plan to do more pieces in this series, and the larvae will be more common in them. Might go with a pair of earrings next.

I am open for commissions, but it depends on what the commission is how long it will take right now. Drop me a note with an idea of what you want and we'll talk it over.

It's supposed to look like the beetle larvae ate it, but I'm very glad you like it.

Aw, thanks.
I've been wanting to try putting some stories with some of my work for awhile, but I wasn't sure if it would throw people off too much.

I've loved Steampunk since I first saw it, but only recently have I had a chance to work it in. Steampunk, Tribal/primitive and Celtic run circles in my head, fighting to be my favorite art style, but I can't seem to choose just one...

Glad you like this set.

Thanks! I've had this design running around in my head for awhile, and when I thought of making the tag, the Order and the rest just kinda gelled for me, and I decided to take the risk and share it.

If you like copper, check out the rest of my gallery. I'm a freaking copper addict.
