Just thought I'd post up some more plugs using different materials. Sorry about the big photos, don't know how to shrink down the size. My finger tips don't look to good, plugs take their pound of flesh, skin, nails etc. Turquoise I bought from Phil, love the rich color    Wild Horse picture jasper I think   Gary Green I got from Tony, Idaho Rock Shop   Canadian Ocean Picture Jasper, It's not jasper or agate, more jade'ish but softer. Not sure what it is but its a perfect carving stone. Very smooth, consistent and takes a great polish.  Rainbow obsidian, see the clouds?  More flashy labradorite  Thanks for looking Tim |

Do you get a lot of orders for the plugs?

Thanks, Now I get more custom order requests than I can handle. When I open the site to custom stuff I usually reach my 20 pair limit in less then 24 hrs. It takes me about two weeks doing a pair or two at night to make 20 sets. It's a nice little side income to support buying more rock toys.

I love your plugs! Can't say as anyone around my rural small town wears them but I do get to see them on mine trips when we go digging for rocks! I just love jewelry that shows the rock instead of th jewelry and this is the ultimate for that! Your work is outstanding. Great material but greater workmanship.

OK, here is my rookie post of the day. What exactly are these plugs for? Nose plugs? Ear plugs? Earings for the people with the big holes in their ears? Or some other type of hole to plug?
No matter what they are for they are quite beautiful and well made...Good pictures too.

Thanks for the clarification and the pic. They catch the light quite well and do look very nice being worn.
