Had an idea for a project a while back. A makeshift charm bracelet and each charm on it would be a trophy or momento of some battle/fight or something along those lines. The bracelet weighs under 1lb when empty and, with ~18 charms is 2lbs, so the weight does increase, but not by an insane amount.
I have 18 charms on it, just because where else do you store charms, but I'll focus on the altered bits. I've a few more designs I could get made, but none of them are really jumping at me, as I lost steam and moved on to something else. Just curious what people might value this at as I might sell. Thanks!
a makeshift charm-laden bracelet
You see a makeshift charm-laden bracelet with a bronze tsuba charm, a makeshift golvern star charm, a carved lor charm, a damaged eahnor wyvern charm and a golden crown-marked charm attached. The clasp on the charm-laden bracelet appears to be open.
a bronze tsuba charm - The charm appears to be fashioned from the tsuba of an Erithi weapon, likely a katana or wakizashi. Pitted with age and use, the original design worked into the metal is still visible, that of a slit-pupiled eye overlaying five conjoined circles. Obscured by a particularly large notch in the tsuba is a once finely etched line of calligraphy.
a makeshift golvern star charm - Weathered and dented from time and use, the charm appears to be fashioned from a single rowel taken from an old spur. The rowel is of a curious design, fashioned from golvern and worked into a five-point star. The traces of a black enamel can still be made out around the edges, as well as an old bloodstain marring the center.
a carved lor charm - Fashioned from a carved piece of lor, the wood has been polished and well cared for, save for a jagged edge. Carved into a curling spiral and set with an ebon-veined scarlet despanal, the piece appears to be one of three spirals from a damaged triskele.
a damaged eahnor wyvern charm - Fashioned from what appears to be the remains of an old eahnor badge, the charm has been fashioned into the shape of a shield. Details have been marred and faded, but a golden wyvern can still be made out, fashioned from layers of gold leaf. Wings spread and maw agape, the wyvern has two empty settings where gemstone eyes once set.
a golden crown-marked charm - Comprised of a piece of thick, steel painted a once pristine white, but since has been covered in dents and nicks. The center of the charm is emblazoned with a golden crown, meticulously painted, and since marred with a single line rent through the cener. Jagged edges line the charm, revealing it was once something much larger, such as a shield or other piece of armor.
Elojun Iritin, Order of the Golvern Star, Palestra, Ta'Vaalor's Legion, and Blameless.. or at least those were the ideas I had in mind for them.. I have 2 more designs completed and another 2 partial ideas, in the mix, if I do keep going.
Also have, non-altered: a dark umber truffle charm, a ruby rampant dragon charm, a leathery brown turtle charm, a mahogany acorn charm, a golden maple leaf charm, a copper walnut charm, an emerald leaping frog charm, a tawny velvet fawn charm, a mahagony stag charm, a ruby red strawberry charm, an egg-filled bird's nest charm, a black leather bat charm, a golden capering fox charm
