looking for someone to make a custom earring
[[moderator's note: Please reply by direct email to this poster if possible,
rather than with newsgroup posts. It's more reliable, and better suited to the request at hand. thanks. PWR]] ****************************************** A friend of mine has been searching for a certain earring he saw while on a trip to Morocco ten or so years ago, in the ear of just another person in the crowd. While standing in a bazaar, a gentleman walked by who had a unique earring in his ear, that resembled a tiny dagger thrust through his earlobe. My friend has been searching, on and off, for one like it ever since. He does not want a representation of a dagger but something that looks like a miniature one. I remember a few years ago that "fool the eye" earrings were popular, with a front piece on a post and the completion of the object was on the other side of the ear as the back of the earring. The handle should be made of, or at least look like, wood, horn or ivory (or ivory substitute, whatever is used for that now) and the back part of the dagger should look as if it's in a sheath, so I guess that part should resemble leather or horn perhaps? I know this is going to be a somewhat intricate piece; he's given me a photograph of a knife that is shaped like the piece he would like the earring to be. I told him I'd look, but it might be a Christmas present. If you are an artisan who can help me obtain something like this, please reply to my email. I know custom work is not inexpensive, and I would like the highest quality I can find. Thanks for any assistance! - ariel -- Consequences, shmonsequences, as long as I'm rich. - D. Duck |
