That one's pretty nice.

Here's a jeweled one my lass picked out. It's 3" across at the widest point, right there in my price range. If i don't get good news about the last inquiry for a custom one I sent out, she's expressed she'd love to see me get this one.

I got a quote from him to make the custom one I really wanted, and as amazing as it would be, it was just a tad on the expensive side for a brooch I'll seldom use.

I shot an Email to the guy Dale Seago recommended as well hopefully he's a bit more affordable. more than anything I'd like my custom one, but not at the cost of having to buy less booze for my guests or anything.
