Want proof? Here's some Nintendo jewelry I made because I'm such a nerd.
Triforce Pendant
14 Karat yellow gold, 40 grams with it's venetian box chain. I've made 1, and unless something happens to destroy this, I don't plan on ever making another. I wear it every single day, and if it were custom made, it'd probably run you $2,000 after materials, labor and metal.
Metroid Pendant
Metroid in Stearling Silver. This hurts my chest to wear because the teeth are sharp as hell. Split box chain, and one of my earlier works. I've only made 1, I don't see a reason to make anymore.
Hylian Shield Pendant
In Stearling Silver, I've made 7 of these. One for myself, one for my girlfriend, 3 for the three fat assholes who painstakingly beat 4 swords with me, and 2 for good friends. The bail on the back is comprised of two small half circles resembling the holdings of an actual shield.
Directional Pad Pendant
D-Pad in Stearling Silver. Made one for my girlfriend, no more. Is often mistaken by old men as a cross. Fun to pres your thumb against.
Triforce Earrings
In 14KY gold with heavy backs. Originally just one pair, I've had to make more since my girlfriend keeps losing them. I've heard scattered reports from her thay they're very pointy.
Hylian Signet Ring
Finally done, made 4 for the the Videogame/Metal band PowerGlove. I figured Yngwie can play with 12 rings on his hands, they should be able to handle one. Chris's was huge and required 2 tries to get it right and jamming a metal spike under my fingernail.
NES Controller Band
Made 5 for the Videogame/Jazz Fuzion band The Konami Kode. They were a bitch to make because the drummer's hands are absolutely fucking huge or something.
Gold Hylian Signet Ring
This I didn't plan on, it was a surprize casting. Nevertheless, it's done now so I'm wearing it. 2 of these, one for me one for her, 18KY gold allowed with a touch of platinum (Gives it a good sound). Now I just have to break it to Powerglove that their rings now suck noodles in comparison.
NES Controller earrings
Made in stearling, one pair for the little lady, one for Mrs Fury, girlfriend of Nick Fury, the Kode's lead guitarist.
They looked better before they got tarnished for a few months before I took the pictures.
Work in Progress: Triforce ring
Not too creative, was originally two different rings, so it's not entirely custom. Still, it'll be interesting to see how it comes out. Half carat Linde Star Sapphire on the side, searching for a decent half carat triangle diamond (Like the Cubic Zirconia trillion pictured, but without the corners cut off)
I probably should have sized it before I spent so much time on it, hopefully I won't mess it up stretching the shank.
Work in Progress: Tetris ring
I'm not crazy about how this came out, I did it by hand rather than CADing it like I should have, nevertheless it's a ring featuring falling blocks. In stearling because I'm cheap and never going to wear it. Though if I did I'm sure it would symbolize my undying love for Alexey Pajitnov.
As you can see, I'm clearly out of new, good ideas.
