Custom MLP Jewelry?
« on: March 07, 2012, 05:41:04 PM »
So I want to run an idea by everyone.  I design and make jewelry as another hobby of mine, and I wanted to know if there would be any interest in custom MLP jewelry.  Not with charms of the ponies themselves, and all that, but custom jewelry based on both the original ponies, and on pony personas. 


I intend to do up some sketches and possibly some prototypes tonight/this next week or so.  So for Cherries Jubilee, do a pink bracelet/necklace, with 5 cherry charms attached to it.  I can do anything from charm bracelets to more intricate pieces...I even thought about molding different symbols, since finding the right charms isn't always easy. 


So what kind of interest is there in such an item?

I would think there would be interest, but any sketches or prototypes would be a great help.  The idea sounds great!

Ok here is what I got done last night.  I know she isn't everyone's favorite pony, but I used what colors I had for now.  I will try to make up the peyote stitch ring I was thinking for another pony later on this afternoon, and will post pics asap.  =]   


May I present the Snuzzle charm bracelet!  I want to try and make more upscale versions of the pony jewelry.  Yes, the ones with the images on them are cute, but can you wear them to work, or with a nicer outfit?  Not always.  not that I am not guilty of this...I lost a pony charm doing that one time...sad day.  >.>  *cough*  anyway, this is my solution!  I want to get more pieces of jewelry done, but until I can get the right charms for some of the ponies, i can't fully duplicate what I want them to look like. 



Sorry if the lighting isn't great, but I took 3 different pictures so you could see.  And yes...the Thing is my hand.  Can't find my jewelry display Thing.  >.>  think it got packed away a few weeks ago.  *facepalm*


Something like this costs me about  $20, depending on what exactly I use in the bracelet.  Swarovski costs more, as well as the better quality metals and such.  I want to try to trade and sell these, if not to y'all, in my Etsy shop.  I
'm trying to get my home business started up again, and this is the first step. 

The bracelet is made with glass hearts, and a mixture of grey and pink beads, with a few silver hearts scattered in among the other beads.  It is seven and half inches long, but can be shortened.  (it's a little bit long on my small wrist). 



Please let me know what you think!

Looks pretty cool so far!

I think there would be interest on places like Etsy if you made some based off of the 'mane 6' or some other popular ponies. The MLP necklaces I make seem to sell pretty well on there.
The one you made is super pretty and the nice thing about it is you can wear it as an everyday thing without it being to obvious that it is My Little Pony influenced.

A good way to start off is to pick out a few ponies you want to make and make a brainstorm thing about them. Take a notebook and think of things like color, symbol design, personality, ect. Try and sketch out a basic design that you can think of based off of things like that and work from there.

Yeah, I have a notebook that has some sketches from last night in there...need to find my art gear when I'm done moving so I can color in and really get my sketches done up right.  =] 


It took about an hour and a half all told, but I really love the way it turned out.  *sucker for charm bracelets* 


Thanks for the tips and comments guys!

Thank you so much!  I am working on one right now that reminds me of a guitar fret board.  So much fun.
