    Looking for ideas for conch jewellery,

    GWS? Gorilla glass?

    Gauge I'm looking at you since you are the plug queen :pac:

    Want something different, maybe custom work?

    Anyone any ideas?

    Chanks

    Yeeey conch jewellery! Actually my collection for conches is really meagre :/ I need to fix that.

    I trust GG for conch jewellery because all the stuff I have from them is fairly uniform in size- all the 2g plugs I've bought are 6mm. Their colorfronts are especially awesome because you can purchase them in Long (not stocked on BAF though :( ).

    GWS are kind of meh, because their SF plugs are very limited below 00g, no foil/galaxies/planets as far as I know. However there is an alternative aka Bill/Frozenfire who can do a lot of the popular designs (galaxies, dichro) to custom specifications. I have some silver dichro from him and the size/wearable is perfect. His stuff is just as good quality as GWS (might have something to do with him being an ex-employee :p) and usually cheaper.

    GWS' new site also has a custom order form that might be worth a try, I think Ryan is getting more open to custom orders seeing as Bill does so well.

    For custom stone I've heard good things about Relic Stoneworks and no doubt you have too, there's a lot of nice stuff from them on IAM, I'm going to give them a try for matching conch/lobe plugs when I have the money. You're more than familiar with onetribe too, so nyeh.

    I haven't tried Kaos in my conches yet... I'd like to hear from someone who has! I think earskins could look pretty cool but I'm way too cheap to try and buy some and find out that it doesn't stay rigid/has the wrong wearable/etc.

    When are you thinking of getting your conches done? :)

    Relic/5point aren't on IAM no more :(

    I was looking at frozenfire earlier, the stuff is the shizz :D

    Conch punching later in the month. Ear cutting this week hopefully. ^_^

    Hoping to get conches done at 8mm so that's 0g :)
    Just trying to think of something unique I could lash into them

    Maybe some wood from Paul, or maybe 5point, not sure. Decisions, decisions

    Punching and scalpelling! :O after that your ears will deserve to be treated to something nice.

    Think custom work is the way to go then...

    Very cool!!! I'd love to punch my conche, but I don't think I'd be able to handle all the blood!!! :o How long will that take to heal?
