Title: Gold & Diamond Bitcoin Pendant
Post by: OgNasty on October 19, 2018, 08:21:00 PM
I wanted to share this custom gold/diamond piece made in the likeness of my forum avatar with the community as I haven't seen much custom Bitcoin jewelry here.
As always, sorry for the quality.  Not easy capturing the beauty in an image so I also included a video removed.  Man does this thing sparkle!

Plan to try to impersonate Ognasty huh?

On a related note, from now on, I will no longer accept any proof of identity other than a timestamp with the Nasty Medalion.

Thanks.  It was originally intended to use emeralds.  The issue was in matching the color perfectly and the emeralds didn't have the same uniform look as the diamonds.  In the end, the decision was made to go with colored diamonds to maintain a more consistent color throughout the piece.  Plus, moar diamondz!

Everything has a price.  This one would be a five figure number.

That is stunning, well done.  Really pops in that video.

Is it white gold?

Have to ask, how many 9's?

Seriously beautiful piece OgNasty, my compliments to your jeweler as well.

Did you include a private key with some Bitcoins in a secret compartment? :):) Nice jewelry, congratulations.

About the photos, I do not know if someone already recommended to you, but you could use a Lighting Box (https://www.amazon.com/LimoStudio-Photography-Studio-Lighting-AGG349/dp/B005CX9S8A/ref=sr_1_3?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1539998677&sr=1-3&keywords=Photo+Studio). With better lighting, the brilliance of the diamond would be more prominent.

Fantastic 8)

I saw this guy a few days ago and I was thinking one of the coinmarkers should hire him for a piece.

yeah this guy is amazing but he doesn't do custom orders unfortunately. So no way he would be up for it unless someone personally knows him or maybe offers something insane.

I think that this qualifies as "Big Pimpin" and I like it. Now you need to get the same thing done on a Rolex face to match it.

I actually designed the piece to have a gold plate placed behind the diamonds, and then a honeycomb style gold plate placed over it.  This was in the event that I wanted to include such a hidden private key.  However, I decided against doing it mainly because it would be too delicate of a piece with a hologram on it.  I wanted this to be worn daily and able to be worn in pools or lakes without fear of damaging a hologram.

I have one of these.  I just never take the time to get it out.  Shame on me.

Thanks!  This piece is a 1 of 1.

I tell time by the sun these days.  :)  Never been a watch guy.  Making a Rolex face would violate my rule of only making products I'd want to own.

I feel like I should share a bit of the 'origin story' of this piece. 
It was originally inspired by this piece commissioned for TECSHARE in 2015:

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/sqQMa.jpeg

I wanted one of these pendants of my profile image at the time, but I was sinking most of my funds into miners and minting coins back then so I decided to sacrifice my wants and wait for a more appropriate time.  After the 2017 bubble, I was finally able to create my profile pendant and for whatever reason I have always thought of this thread with TECSHARE (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1111813.msg12134313#msg12134313) when I look at it.  Now that TECSHARE has passed (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5319417.0), I felt it might be good to share how I will always view him in my head, which is the above photo.  RIP TECSHARE.
