Peter Clausen Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 My favorite is the domino roach! What species is the tarantula based on and what is the ring in the second picture? Very nice work! Are they mostly charms/medallions for necklaces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worldsparadox Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 That last one looks like a P. Regalis! very impressive, are you using lost wax casting for those or some over method? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Kuhns Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 That taurantula is pretty darn awesome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ometeo Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hello, Peter, the domino roach was so fun to make, and regarding the tarantula, yes, it is a P. regalis. I have done pendants, rings, bracelets, charms, cuffs, brooches, pins, tie clips, and cufflinks, but can do pretty much anything in the realm of jewelry. I tend to work in silver due to the cost of the metal, but have done pieces in gold (custom work). WorldParadox, I try to incorporate different methods, though something like the P. regalis has to be carved out of wax first and then casted (at least the body itself), the legs I did just by working with the metal. Thank you as well Phil. Here are some more for those of you that asked about it ;-) Reptile: Invert I also love working on Amber with inclusions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ometeo Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 How could I forget about this one ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Clausen Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 All the photos make me smile like when I used to watch my dad play the piano. It's really fun to see people expressing their individual creativity, especially when it relates to bugs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 AWESOME WORK!!!! ever do commissions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ometeo Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Hello Sara, the bulk of my work are commissions for hobbyists in the reptile and invert hobby. I have been getting involved in some reef tank forums lately and doing some work for some people as well (mostly cephalopods). You can contact me through our web page: http://www.rfamilyjewels.com thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
