My New Homemade Pipe

[cosmicfolklore]

I buy colored stones in sets per job, and I always buy a few extra in case I break one or two. This is just for precaution, and I've been an a lucky steak at setting stones without breaking any in a long while. So, to reward myself for no breakages, I designed this band for myself. I gypsy set them in sterling silver and textured the band for a less prissy look.

The stummel is from the same box of frazed stummels that I got from Skip that are from the very early 1900's, and I rusticated the stummel with some jeweler's burs. The stem I carved into a military style. I really liked the way it lools with the diamond shank, and being just shy of 7" long, I wanted to be able to break the pipe down and carry in my pocket when needed. The bowl is .85 x 1.5".

I've sort of transfered my PAD into a HPD (homemade pipe dissorder). Ha! Anyways, thar she is...

Yellow sapphires, garnets, and citrines. I love them bulldogs!

You should call it the Bling Bing!
Very nice work Cosmic.

Thank you, I prefer a long pipe at times, especially when driving.

I really like that pipe Cosmic. A hybrid pipe shall be born. The bulldog prince, bullprince. Lovely work!

Nice set of shots of your shot setting! Is the amber coloured one a mandarin garnet? I like that colour range you used.

I like that. That is one sweet looking pipe.

Thank you again, guys.

Mortonbriar, no, not specifically mandarin. I haven't had the pleasure of using that garnet recently. I'm not exactly sure which one you mean, but I did have several andarites in the golden red variety. Yes, I kept it in the golden tones to match the honey color of the briar. Thanks!

That would make a good holiday pipe. The gems in it reminds me of a fruit cake.
