Pathetic Peripatetic

Most of my followers expect Doctor Who related posts, I made a Police Box Ring that I occasionally post about, and my username is a reference to a specific strip of an out-of-print newspaper comic (Some people got it!). I grew up with video games and television (people like this are rare, I'm sure) and am currently employed as a jeweler CAD technician. Quite often those two things interject.

A custom request I received for an “Arc Reactor” inspired ring. Set with Blue Topaz and Diamond Baguettes (for the eyes) in White Gold.

My concept DNA Strand necklace. The stone can be made larger, smaller, and of any birthstone of your choosing.

Binary “I Love You” necklace.

Technically you can make it say anything, including a name or initials. Perfect for your preparation of the singularity.

Still making my way through the Stargate SG-1 series. I have a lot of stuff in my “projects” folder, but I only had an hour of spare time while I wait for all members of the carpool to assemble so I made this pendant inspired by the home symbol seen on the Stargate.

Go Earth.

It measures about 15mm long, but that’s easily adjustable.

From the website:

A useful tool for covert and undercover operators, those that travel abroad in unstable countries, or anyone at risk of being held unlawfully. The Titanium Escape Ring adds another tool to the operator’s E&E options for escaping captivity. It’s a simple but elegant-looking ring made of titanium, cut from solid barstock and polished to a mirror finish. But unlike all other rings, this one contains a saw and handcuff shim pick combination tool which is completely hidden from view when worn. Located on a finger, its always in the exact area needed to quickly access and deploy, even when handcuffed. The shim can be used to open single-locked handcuffs, while the saw can cut zip-ties, disposable handcuffs, duct tape, rope, and other non-metallic materials. This stainless steel tool is 2” x 1/8” x 1/64”, and its unusual flexibility allows it to curve around and be seated in the ring’s interior.

Gobble Gobble.

Or whatever it is Penguins do.

Quack?

I receive quite a bit of jewelery related spam mail.
Here is one for oval diamonds.
Edit: I just NOW noticed that the oval diamond is the one thinking “mmm OVALS” and not the guy about to eat it.

Heart Bracelet with Rubies.
It takes a long time to make these images. Like, ten, even twelve minutes. I could watch most of a TV episode in that time.

December Gift Giving Season Deadline!

All of our jewelry is hand made by skilled workers in the Chicagoland area. Thanks to the popularity of our pieces, they’re almost perpetually low in stock or on backorder. Most of the time the rings are sold before they’re even completed.

To get your piece guaranteed delivered in time for Christmas you need to place your order before or on November 26 at noon central for those in the election weary USA. International people should order even sooner since some packages breeze through customs while others take weeks (even going to the same country).

The necklace sells for $149 and the ring starts at $395.

If I’ve posted these pictures before, let me know.

The alternative mens band for those who do not want a center stone. Modeled after the Police Box commonly found around London in the 1960s.

I read on Wikipedia once that Police Boxes were invented in Chicago. I don’t know if it’s true but if it is, that means I’m closer to the Police Box homeland than if I were in the UK.

Ah, Jupiter. It does so much for us and asks for so few human sacrifices. Earth’s bodyguard Jupiter will gladly jump in the way of a Shoemaker Comet and won’t even flinch.

Fun Jupiter Facts:

  • Jupiter is a mass hogger with 70% of the solar system’s collective mass.
  • A day on Jupiter is about 9 hours long, but according to locals their weekends are wilder than ours.
  • Over 64 moons have been discovered, including IO, the crabbiest.
  • If you weigh 150 lbs on Earth then on Jupiter you’d be crushed to death in the thick atmosphere before you’d find a surface to stand on a scale. 
  • Once had a Pendant designed in it’s image.
