Long shot question - making costuming jewelry

[drwex]

Not "costume" jewelry - I want to replicate a specific (and very complex) piece of jewelry from a character for a costume. The replica can be made out of any materials that will look right, and I'm willing to pay for the work.

Do we know anyone who can do this sort of thing? ETA: here's an image of the thing: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xBRXfV2wH10/TZCe4n6Cp2I/AAAAAAAAFPs/PMVdlgHtggc/s1600/Isabela.png
It's Isabella from Dragon Age Origins - the necklace is sort of a signature piece.

I know that sihaya09 makes jewelry. You can probably ask her.

I haven't got a suggestion of a person, but I suspect the composition of the piece will make a big difference in terms of who could recreate it. Any reason not to post a link to a pic of the piece?

Laziness. Fixing it now.

My acquaintance gothtique makes jewelry and teaches other people to make jewelry. She lives in Salem, which should be reasonably convenient to Burlington.

I highly doubt that making jewelry is going to cover this. I'm trending toward some kind of paste/clay thinking. But maybe not.

*shrug* Jewelry was what you asked about, so that's what I replied about. Maybe you could clarify your wants in your post, then.

While I really like DA, my other half is totally into it. (She just hosted a Dragon Age meet up in NYC last weekend.) Here's what she could dig up quickly:

This is a tutorial: http://subitoallegra.tumblr.com/post/12301876040/how-to-make-isabelas-necklaces-fenris-eyes-not

Here's someone else who did the necklace in three parts: http://www.cosplay.com/gallery/209704/

By the way, that's Isabella's look in DA2, not DA:O ^.^ Either way, she rocks!

[drwex]

You're right that's her DA2 look. And I probably just should have searched the Web for a how-to - I'm just not sure I have the skills.

Oh, I understand that. Can't really do that much myself I'm always amazed by what costumers/cosplayers put together. I'll let you know if autumnyte comes up with anything else, although right now Mass Effect is draining all her time & abilities. Those links were just her quickly digging in her references -- she's pretty active in the DA community, so may uncover some more. Any specific timeline on this?

[drwex]

Not per se. Maybe by some con some time?
