So - a little follow-up to this saga!
Yesterday I was talking to a woman who is a really talented jeweler and smith who also does 14th century reenactment, who recently made some really beautiful buckles for me which I intended to use on my new quiver (I ended up only using one of the three, but that’s another story). She runs a business called Handmade Revolution, through which she sells on Etsy and also her own website. Anyway, it occurred to me as we were talking that she could probably make a GORGEOUS Dúnedain star brooch, so I asked if she would ever consider it, and she expressed a LOT of interest! She told me to let folks in the community know that she would love to talk to them about designing one and offering it through her shop, but it helps if she has at least one confirmed customer to get the ball rolling, since it’s a custom design. I asked her what her ballpark price would be for something like that, and she said probably somewhere around the $70 range, give or take (I believe that’s Canadian dollars), for a brooch made of brass and plated in silver. Solid silver would be significantly more, but the plated option would be very budget-friendly!
Anyway, just thought folks here should know! Hit her up if you’re interested! And check out her FB page to see some of her really beautiful historical pieces and jewelry work! She has also participated with the Rangers of the North group that some of you may have seen on Facebook and Instagram.
