SKULL RING DESIGNER update

anuary is a busy month for us as we need to restock
but also many customers avoided the Christmas rush and waited for
the beginning of the year to place orders.
This first item was on of the last custom pieces we made in 2013.
The centre piece being an important heirloom
we just  made a simple ring to hold it , but with the option
of being opened up and taken back out if needed , so the item remains 100% original and
undamaged

Another item came back for a quick refurbish
So it looks like new again

Amazingly we have taken orders for items that we already made
many years ago and that the original client wants either made again
brand new or to have made again  for their children.
The first one was for a ring that I completely forgot about
it but was indeed one of my first creation.
The owner brought it in ,  it was really worn and damaged.
The detail of the skull face was worn away and the shank was broken
The customer said it was his favourite and had been wearing it every day
So I am using the original MASTER and he will get the exact same ring that he bought
long ago.
The next order was for a ring that only three pieces were ever made
This will be the fourth one.
Finally another customer ordered a Celtic sword with RUNES and precious stone
He bought the original over 22 years ago when he was 20 years old
He's worn it everyday and now his daughters want one too
We will be glad to oblige.
BACK TO THE FUTURE

SKULL RING DESIGNER updates

After a very busy Christmas you would think it's time to
relax, well that is not the case at CRAZY PIG DESIGNS.
January is always a good time to plan "What's next"
More than ever , I have my list of
" THINGS TO DO"
Loads of new ideas and designs already in the pipeline for 2014.














Recently a customer who was buying one of our classic skull rings
asked  me the following question.
" How long does it take to create a new piece like this one"
My answer was. " It depends on the complexity and size of the item
but I would say in average one and a half  to two weeks"
Without counting any special orders we have just over 1050 original designs.
all hand carved one at a time.
At a rate of  2 weeks per designs,
that is FORTY YEARS!
