$20.00 - Item#N018WEST

ON SALE NOW $15.00

Jasper and turquoise pendant with sterling silver Western-style heart, on leather cord. This piece was definitely inspired by the years I spent growing up, living, and traveling in the desert region of the American Southwest — the turquoise blue skies, the bands of brown and red rock and sand in the hills, the spirit of freedom in the great wide open. This necklace is one-of-a-kind (OOAK), only one available, designed and handmade in my private studio. The item you see here is exactly the item you will receive. All of the metal bits are sterling silver. Necklace is adjustable between 17 and 18 inches, with trigger clasp. Gift boxed.

In folklore, turquoise represents the spirit of the sky. Jasper is said to bring protection, comfort, and justice to the wearer.

$14.00 - Item#B707CG 50% OFF NOW ONLY $7.00

About Monkeyshines jewelry

I guess I’ve got Firefly on the brainpan, since I’m the coordinator of the 3rd Annual Raleigh Can’t Stop the Serenity event, and tickets went on sale this month. This little nugget is based on the argument Mal has with Inara in the episode “Trash.” For all those hopeful Companion clients out there, I added it to my shop on Cafepress.

$40.00 - Item #FF002SBTN

Great cosplay, costuming or convention item for Browncoats! It took months of searching to finally find a pendant to match the necklace worn by the sultry villainess “Saffron” from the cult TV show FIREFLY, during the opening scene of the episode “Trash” while she is brawling with Mal (she wears a different necklace later during the Lassiter heist). See pictures from the episode here. But the company that sold these pendants has discontinued them! And the larger brown beads are vintage acrylic that I found in a specialty bead store. I bought as many as I could of the beads and pendants, and I’ve sold several of these necklaces. But now I only have enough materials to make two more. Get it while you can

Please note that this item is made-when-ordered, and depending on my schedule might not be shipped for 4-6 weeks. Making jewelry is only a hobby of mine, not a full-time job, and I typically only get to spend a few hours a week in my studio. - Jen

$14.00 - Item #FF001BE

Brass pistol charm and Chinese coin capture the spirit of FIREFLY fans everywhere! In fact, when I got my copy of the Firefly: The Official Companion: Volume Two I saw that the back cover features a pistol and coins just like these (but I was making the earrings before the book came out!). Earrings measure 1-3/8 inches long, not including brass leverback earwires (surgical steel french hooks available upon request for those with metal sensitivities). Image slightly enlarged to show detail. Handmade in my private studio. Symbols on coins may vary from those pictured. Giftboxed.

Most of my jewelry is one-of-a-kind, but this is one of the few items where I do make several of the same design. These are a tribute to my fellow Browncoats, and proceeds from the sale of these earrings go right back into the Can’t Stop the Serenity event I help sponsor and coordinate in Raleigh, NC, each June.

$20.00 - Item#FF117PINK

In addition to finding the same style/color of bead that Kaylee is seen wearing on the cover of the FIREFLY DVD, the second Official Firefly Companion book, and in other FIREFLY promotional pictures, I have also found a type of cord that looks just like hers. It is tan buckskin (made in the USA). I am also making these necklaces adjustable, now, with an extension chain that allows them to be worn anywhere between 16 and 18 inches (as shown in the updated picture, above). This necklace is made when ordered, and I will keep making these for as long as I am able to obtain the beads and materials. Depending on my schedule, it might not be shipped for 4-6 weeks.

Item#FF001INJT - price varies

If you are creating a costume like the one Inara wears in the FIREFLY episode Jaynestown, this is the perfect accessory! The centerpiece hangs 3-1/4 inches. I recommend a 16-inch chain or shorter (because the centerpiece hangs so low) but I can make the chain any length you wish. Made with gold-plated filigree parts, brass chain and black glass beads. I do not have one available at this time, but if you would like to submit a request for this item, please contact me. Price varies due to the availability/cost of materials, but runs around $40. I’m not always able to make one exactly like the sample shown here, but I can come up with something close to the original as possible. Please note that this item is made-when-ordered, and depending on my schedule and availability of materials, might not be shipped for 4-6 weeks or more.

$18.00 - Item #FF018INJT

Inspired by the earrings Inara wore in the FIREFLY episode “Jaynestown” when she met Magistrate Higgins. Purple glass drops, balls are vintage filigree beads. See a screenshot of Inara with the earrings here. This pair I made measure 1-3/4 inches long, not including lever-back earwires. Handmade in my private studio. Giftboxed. The COMPANION NECKLACE was worn with the same costume. I will make more, probably not exactly like the ones shown here, but as close as possible to the original. Finding parts is hit-or-miss, so I can only make them when I’m able to find the right materials.

I know this has nothing to do with jewelry, but I’m a fan of both Firefly and lolcats so I had to make a few of these!
