Yikes! A Padlockable Version of the Wire Sculpture Collar in Sterling Silver with even more features.

The collar pictured is 12 strands of 18ga square wire, which is a smige over 1/2" wide. This collar has (2) accent "twisted" wires in the pattern.

This collar was another custom order, and as you can see, has a Black Onyx WireSculpture permanently affixed to the front. This feature was a general pain-in-the-butt to accomplish, but hey, I made it work.

The WireSculpture is affixed with some little prongs off the backside which wrap around the collar. Since the collar flexes, also for good measure, I used a drop of E6000 glue. The glue is just there to make damn sure the piece does not just pop off if the wearer catches the WireSculpture on something. Since this was the first of its kind, I wanted to take as many precautions as possible to make sure it lasted for years to come.

As above, cost of the finished product will vary with what options you select. Email me for a quote.

Price = $175-$375 + (s&h)

*Note: Gold is doable, but will cost quite a bit more.

Not Padlockable, but still more options to the Wire Sculpture Collar.

The collar pictured is 10 strands of 18ga square wire, which is about 1/2" wide. This collar has (2) accent "twisted" wires in the pattern.

This collar was another custom order, and as you can see, has a Topaz and Diamond Dangle on the front. This dangle was once the customers Ring. Yup, that's right, I said it was once a ring (see pics).

So you see, I can even take your old unworn jewelry and turn it into something you want to wear. [grin]

So, what did it cost this customer to have this nice collar made? Well, her total was about $215.

The double clasp on this Wire Sculpture Collar allows the wearer to choose two positions to wear it at. The customers idea was that his partner be able to wear the collar on the tight setting for normal wear, but could expand it during active periods, where a tight fitting collar would be uncomfortable. So, the result was a double clasp.

Taking Measurements:

I suggest that my clients use either a dress-makers tape measure or even a piece of string. First measure the circumference around the neck, then begin to loosen the loop till you have the amount of play that feels comfortable (generally between 1/2" to 1-1/2" larger than the neck). Send me this measurement.

Or, if the wearer is going to be wearing clothing like turtle-neck shirts and you want to wear this collar on the outside, then have the wearer put on a turtle-neck, and take the measurement with the shirt on.

These are my common suggestions. In the end the fit of the collar is up to you or the wearer.

*Note: Measurement may be in Metric or Inch Standards.
