ROLLING STONES 50 TH ANNIVERSARY

The biggest event of the year
The STONES LIVE IN LONDON !
Well , some of the crew are already in town
and already a few have popped in at CRAZY PIG central.

So who knows , who's next!

A few years ago a member of the RS crew in charge of the wardrobe
came to CRAZY PIG DESIGNS to pick up a large selection of items
for a ROLLING STONES video shoot.
She need jewellery for KEITH, MICK, RON,and CHARLIE
Yes you read right CHARLIE too!
For Charlie she thought , cufflings might be the right and subtle choice.
Anyway, MICK, KEITH and RON all selected items they liked
and actually they had written their names next to each item
that they had selected and decided to purchase for themselves.
However Charlie decided not to wear any jewellery!
No suprise there,
But we got Three out of Four Rolling Stones kitted out with
CRAZY PIG jewellery in one go.
On top of that the ROLLING STONES added CRAZY PIG  name
to the special thanks page of their tour program.
What an honour!
Here's a little annecdote....
While I was sorting out the Rolling Stones jewellery , the phone rang and a lady said,
I am working for an very important person and she wants you to bring jewellery
to her hotel suite.I had to explain I was busy with another customer  and that I simply could
not drop everything to go to her hotel
She insisted that it was for a "VERY IMPORTANT PERSON"
I apologise again , but still declined to go,
So she said quite annoyed with me.
It is for MEL B
To which I replied
Sorry but I need to sort out some jewellery for THE ROLLING STONES first!
So there goes my  oportunity to be on MEL B's tour program!

It sONLY ROCK & ROLL

SILVER EYE RINGS GOLD EYE RINGS

This is another CRAZY PIG DESIGNS CLASSIC
Our EYE RINGS are totally unique

We have many models to choose from
Best of all if you pop in our Covent Garden store
you can actually choose for yourself the eye that you
prefer from our large selection of EYES COLOURS !
All designs are  available in Silver and gold.
( Photo shoot for ELLE magazine shown here below)

In Victorian times , False eyes were made ou of glass
( see picture below/Internet photo not CPD's)

Of course these are just too fragile to be used nowadays.
All our eyes are custom ordered and made for us
and they are of the highest standard because
they are made by the same person that makes actual surgical
replacemnt eyes for people .
They are not DOLLS EYES they are the REAL THING!
So they look sinply SO REAL! They are just AWESOME.

One of our USA client, is a CASINO regular
He told us that wearing an eye ring ,brings him luck
and also tends to distract other players.
Eye rings are a positivite symbol
way back from Greek mythology
Someone is watching over you !

More VIP's for NOVEMBER

November has started pretty good at CPD
with loads of new things in the pipeline.

We recently had to make a custom ring for a USA customer.
His enquiry was quite unusual but that's OK with us
because UNUSUAL is what we do,

At first we knew nothing about him , but his name
kind of "rang a bell"
GIORGIO A TSOUKALOS
When we find out he was included in a
SOUTHPARK Episode, we figured he must be
a COOL DUDE!
Here's Giorgio with THE ROCK!

Here's more on Giorgio.
