It's the beginning of the end...

It's the last few days of the BLACK SABBATH UK tour; who has their tickets for this week??

“It’s the beginning of the end..."

Here is a blast from the past with the Dead-ringer Knuckle ring worn by Ozzy, and the custom Bat Cuff designed by Armand Serra, Crazy Pig Designs:

"From very early on, even as far as my school days I have always been into BLACK SABBATH.
Over the years I've seen OZZY in concert with various line ups and privileged to hang around backstage.
From the riff master TONI IOMMI, to RANDY RHOADS, JAKE E LEE, and ZAKK WYLDE. OZZY has always been the simply THE BEST!
I was very honoured to be contacted by Sharon to create a few custom pieces from OZZ.
Here's one of the cool pieces we made at CRAZY PIG DESIGNS, All in solid 18 carat gold with rubies and diamonds."

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Over the Years we have made a lot of Jewellery for the Harry Potter Movies
a lot of which was custom made and designed by Crazy Pig Designs for the movies.

We made a lot of items for Professor Slughorn in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. In this shot he's wearing his watch chains and custom cufflinks.

The cufflinks were monograms of his name Horace Slughorn.

El Becko - Jeff Beck amplifier

The guitar and amplifier maker Phillipe Dubreille was asked to make this amplifier for Jeff Beck from Chrissie Hind of The Pretenders fame. Phillipe came to us and we made the El Becko Silver "fuel cap" and the silver El Becko logo.

I think it landed up looking and sounding pretty cool.

Johnny Depp in Sweeney Todd

We were asked to make a ring for Johnny Depp in the movie Sweeney Todd, problem was the wardrobe guys had already made him a "ring" which he had worn in the first few scenes.

We were therefore restricted design wise with what the ring could look like. We obviously made loads better than the one used in the first few scenes but we weren't over the moon with it.

The ring we made was still in the movie on Johnny Depps pinkie.
