You are right - availability is hit-or-miss. I have a very small amount of time to make these items, and almost as soon as I make one, it sells! Which is nice, but I just wish I had time to make more.

I don’t bother making items that can be found elsewhere - such as Zoe’s necklace, or Inara’s slave bracelet. And I do stick with the items that are easier to make. Some of the jewelry, like Inara’s necklace from the ball scene in “Shindig,” would just take so much time and expense to replicate exactly, I’d have to charge almost as much as the original sold for on eBay.

Stay shiny!

The Firefly necklace is just gorgeous; it’s a simple glass bead on a leather necklace with silver findings and damn, I love the heart clasp. It looks good with a variety of outfits, I’ve found, and it’s become one of my favorite pieces of jewelry. (It also seems to stand up to hard wear very well!)

“The Message” necklace is bone and wood beads strung on silk;as she says, it’s not an exact copy of the piece in “The Message” but it’s beautiful in its own right as well. The dragon pendant is really beautifully carved and detailed, it feels nice on (very smooth and nice to wear!). I’m wearing it at my birthday party tomorrow, so you can tell I’m pleased.
I also find the jewelry is a great way to have a little bit of Firefly joy around me at the office and that in itself is worth a lot.
Monkeyshines is great to deal with and you get stickers with your order too! I would have reviewed the “Out of Gas” necklace, but somebody beat me to it:)

So, yay for Monkeyshines!
