To continue with the spookiness, a pair of guillotine earrings, roughly inspired by ones made in France around 1880, that reference obviously the French revolution. I’ve been making those for a few years, but they don’t seem any less relevant nowadays.
It’s made by hand, with a saw and a brass plate.
It’s the fashion choice for when you want to get ahead.
Literally fashion that slays
Nice for when you really want to look sharp.
I love this! The skull and crown are nice touches!
The original has engraved heads wearing a crown instead, but I wanted something a bit more “symbolic” rather than graphic (and also I can’t engrave accurately to save my life :p)
They are lovely! Do you have a website or store?
I have an etsy page, I’m the process of reopening and refreshing it after a relatively long pause, but these are still available.
You can find it at murmuresmetalliques.etsy.com (I hope the link isn’t against the community rules, I’ll remove it if it is)
Excellent, thank you so much. I lost some hours this week. When I get disposable income, you’re on my list. I can’t wear pierced pieces, anymore, I intend to see if I can convert them somehow.
Eta; I love both usernames.
I mean, I can’t guarantee that I wouldn’t need some delays to adjust, but I’m always open to custom requests, and it would be possible to change the hook into a clamp, to make it a necklace, or whatever else.
If you want, you can also contact me to find a more suitable price, and I can see to adjust it a little.
Thank you so much. I’ll wait until I have full price, depending on customs and tariffs, shipping. You deserve to be paid properly for your art work. Maybe something will come through. I’m trying to sort some way of getting more hours.
Are you in the US? If so, I haven’t set up things yet, for now I’m sending within Europe, but I’ll see how things work with delivery costs and tariffs.
And for the cost, we can always have a middle ground, but it’s your choice, I’m just saying that I’m open for discussion.
Thank you. I really appreciate your generosity and kindness. It touches my spirit, deep inside, in the best kind of way. There are really good people, the world over, and thank you so very much for not letting the ugliness eclipse your light. We need it.
Yes, USA. Take your time. I’ll work on things from my end. I think we make a fine team. Wishing you happiness and wellness.
Thank you for the kind words, hope we can work things out. You’re welcome to contact me to request a craft whenever you’d like and we can discuss it more in detail.
Wishing you happiness and wellness as well, take care!
Perhaps a version with $ sign instead of the crown for a more modern meaning?
Instead of the skull, the crown still should be there
Badass
I don’t have earring holes in my ears… but I would wear the hell out of these! (Also, if I had a significant other that wear earrings and had the similar taste, I would buy these, no doubt!)
I might end up giving the option to have clamps instead of earring hooks, so that pierced ears are not a requirement. And/or possibly make a necklace version.
revolutionary!
This goes SO fucking hard
A sharp edge with guardrails.
I need something like this for our national kings day next year but dont wear earrings
It could be adapted into a necklace or something else. I would say that a keychain would also work if the metal was thicker
depending on how big it would be, I would totally be down for one!
Well, the size can be adjusted to be bigger, but they currently are around 3.5cm for the guillotine itself (so a bit longer with the skull/crown under, around 4.5cm).
Feel free to contact me on etsy if you want to work out the details and see what I can do to fit more what you’d like.
Earnings so cool they have their own earrings (pierced bottoms?).
Magnificique!
Oooh, don’t fall asleep with these on!
