$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

These ceramic vials are great diffusers — perfume oils evaporate through the cork (corks may leak, please use caution when filling or wearing). They are also great for holding small treasures and fairy dust, or remove the cork and fill with small flowers. Hang in bathrooms, from rear-view mirrors, in windows, or anywhere! Vials are about 1-1/2 to 2 inches high, including cork (images slightly enlarged to show detail). Each vial hangs from white satin cord. One of each ceramic vial is available — the items you see in the pictures are the exact items you will receive. I didn’t make these, they are left over from the days when I used to sell retail items in addition to my own jewelry, but I did add the accent beads and cords.
$35.00 - Item#SP018CONSTANCE
This necklace was created with watch parts, gears, brass and copper charms, on an unusual mechanical-looking chain. The centerpiece includes a part of the internal workings of a vintage pocket watch and reads “Standard Watch Co. Syracuse NY” along with the numbers “334425″ on the front. Enlarged image, below, to show details. One-of-a-kind unique creation, only one available, handmade in the Monkeyshines studio. Centerpiece measures 1-5/8 inches across, heart-shaped lock is 5/8-inch high. Total necklace length is 17-1/2 inches, but it is slightly adjustable and may be hooked down to 16-1/2 inches. Gift boxed.
I named the piece “Constance” for two reasons: Because the word constancy means steadfast and loyal devotion and faithfulness, which is represented by the heart-shaped lock on the decorative “mechanism”; and also because of the character Constance in the movie Monster House. My children and I love that movie — there is a heart-shaped lock and key in that film, also, and themes of love and devotion.
My steampunk jewelry is inspired by H.G. Wells, Da Vinci, Jules Verne, Oscar Wilde, the Victorian period, Edwardian era, art nouveau, and other similar historic and literary sources. While these pieces are intended to be worn as jewelry, please keep in mind that they are also individual works of art and should be handled with care.
$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. 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

$20.00 - Item#N018WEST
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.
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.
