$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.

See some of my Inara’s Jaynestown earrings and an Inara Jaynestown necklace replica “in action” by clicking on the thumbnails below. Photos sent to me by one of my customers.

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!

For Browncoats… a bracelet inspired by Captain Malcolm Reynolds in the Joss Whedon TV show FIREFLY. Charms include Chinese coins, Buddha, pony, pistol, and brown Czech glass. One-of-a-kind bracelet, designed and made in my studio, is sold. Gift boxed.

“Dear Buddha, please bring me a pony…”

About Monkeyshines jewelry

This is a picture of a necklace and bracelet set inspired by the jewelry worn by “Saffron” from the cult TV show FIREFLY, during the Lassiter heist in the episode “Trash.” See pictures from the episode here. I do not currently have these available, but do plan to make more. If you are interested, please contact me. With these pieces, final price depends on the materials I use to make each one, and materials will vary due to what I am able to find. If I use a combination of Czech glass, bone, jade, cinnabar, carnelian, howlite and turquoise, as in the item shown above, the set will cost about $60-$75. I can make a less expensive version using only glass beads, but it will not look as much like the one in the TV show.

Greeting cards I designed based on the cult TV show FIREFLY. 1) Merry Gorram Christmas. 2) River’s Christmas quote from the episode “Ariel.” 3)”Is it Christmas?” Mal said when he woke up after the “goodnight kiss” in the episode “Our Mrs. Reynolds.”

I’ve found a source for necklaces like the one Inara wore in the opening scene of the Firefly episode “The Message.” It’s called a Victorian Lace necklace and is found at Design Toscano. The one they are selling is black, but it looks like exactly the same pattern as Inara’s (which looks red in the episode). I do not make replicas of this necklace.

For all those FIREFLY fans out there, I found a website selling actual bobble-head geisha dolls, as mentioned in the episode “Trash”:

INARA: What was the last cargo we snuck past the Alliance to transport?

MAL: We made a perfectly good piece -

INARA: What was the cargo?

MAL: They were dolls!

INARA: They were little geisha dolls with big heads that wobbled!

MAL: People love those!

INARA: And what exactly was our net profit on the famous wobbly-headed doll caper?

This will only interest Browncoats, and it has nothing to do with jewelry, but I recently discovered the identity of the oriental plate which Kaylee picks up in the gift shop on Jiangyin in the FIREFLY episode “Safe.” In the episode, Kaylee and Inara leave Serenity to go shopping in a small, rim-world general store. Kaylee talks about getting the plate for Simon as a gift. Simon later comes in and examines the same plate, calling it crap right in front of Kaylee.

The prop they used was a Ko-Ching Beauties of the Red Mansion Limited Edition Collector Plate #9. There are several of these plates available on the internet (just use your favorite search engine), and they sell for $20-$60. It is the from a series of 12 plates by Master Artisan Zhao Huimin which portray the heroines of the classic Chinese romantic novel, “A Dream of Red Mansions” by Hung Lou Meng, written between 1755 and 1790. The plate was produced in 1988. It doesn’t actually say “Jiangyin Prairie Paradise.”

Might be a fun addition to a FIREFLY collection. I’m thinking of getting me one to go next to my buddha statue, with the pony and plastic rocket, and the medal Jayne wore in SERENITY.

Inspired by the necklace worn by the character “Kaylee” in the FIREFLY episode “The Message.” (See picture here.) Wooden beads and orange quartz stone beads. Carved bone pendant features a Chinese dragon and measures 2 inches high. Necklace made by my own hands in my private studio. I have made similar items before, and plan to make more in the future, as this piece is good for sci-fi conventions and cosplay.

See one of my Kaylee “Message” necklaces in action by clicking the thumbnails below. This is Mai, who wore her necklace when she met Alan Tudyk and Summer Glau. She told me Summer complimented her on the necklace. Shiny!
