As a Gorean Gemsmith I create not only jewelry but fine weapons and locks. Pictures do exist for some work butcustom work I do often does not exist in picture form, all crafted pieces are described in words Selling prices for custom work are usually higher than simpler, less expensive pieces that can be produced in quantity. Though I do quantity work, the great majority of patronage is custom work. I do repeat use of a design, especially when a customer requests it. Prices listed here are based on cost of materials.

Shield and Heart Sword

The sword has a 36-inch blade, double-edged, for 3/4 its length. A simple cross guard with a handle 16 inches in length is wrapped in dark red leather, the leather held on with a fine gold wire wrapped along the length of the handle. The pommel is in the shape of a tarn with the wings spread to hold a gem. The gem is a sereem diamond carved and faceted into a shield silhouette. A letter “S” has been deeply engraved into it where is inset tiny, round, faceted rubies. The scabbard is black leather stiffened and made waterproof. All the rivets and the metal cap at the tip of each scabbard are of silver. The rings and buckles of the belt are also of silver. The leather is polished to a high shine. On the back of the scabbard has been added a silver plate engraved with shields and hearts all down the plate. On the front of the scabbard and down its length, has been set sereem diamond shields and hearts, as described above.
