A handmade black leather collar with a leather-wrapped handle riveted to the front. It has tooled bitemarks on the handle, and tooled clawmarks on the body of the collar. A layer of red antique makes the tooling and borders pop, and the stitching is a matching red. The hardware is nickel plated brass

HIGHLY recommend Shifty's chainwork. I have a Persian/Byzantine necklace that stayed true to color, no snagging on clothes or hair, and I've worn it near daily for a year. Not a single loose jump ring, this is PRECISE quality work.

And colorful 💖

Life update!

We are midway into moving to a new place. My supplies are currently packed up, so custom work is on hold for a while.

My shop will remain open for premades for the time being!

So all the ones in the shop are just premades that come to mind. I also do customs and am constantly making things. With stuff like this, I dont mind recreating to a point. It mostly just depends on what charms I have on hand :3
