| Animé Silver Crystal Pendant - Estimated cost to reproduce: $20 USD - I got tired of seeing Ginzuishou necklaces made with cheap plastic beads, so I went surfing to see if there was such a thing as affordable crystal prisms. There was. :)
I know she didn't have a pendant in the animé, but the crystals I found were round like the Ginzuishou in the show. 30mm lead crystal prism on a gold-plated chain with crystal and gold-plated beads.
Manga Silver Crystal Pendant - Estimated cost to reproduce: $30 USD - Duirng my search for crystal prisms I located some 30mm aurora borealis ("oil") ones that were about as close to the shape of the manga Ginzuishou as we're going to get in this lifetime. Barring custom production, that is, and I just don't have the funds. Photos do not do the sparkle justice!
The first one I made was on a sterling silver chain, as it occured to me it made little sense to put the Imperium Silver Crystal on a gold chain! Then someone commissioned me for one on a gold chain. ^_^;

| Deep Aqua Mirror - Estimated cost to reproduce: $40 USD - I'm a bit of a Michiru fangirl and when I came across a reproduction antique mirror that was sooooo close, I couldn't resist purchasing it. Rather than alter such a fine piece and possibly mess it up, I chose to recast it in resin and add detailing to bring it closer to what was seen in the series. The actual mirror is custom-cut acrylic.
Saturn Henshin Wand - Estimated cost to reproduce: $60 USD - Pictured below is version 2.0. It's solid cast resin finished with metallic enamel and acrylic jewels to more closely mimic the oh-so-sought-after Bandai lip wands. The primary source of inspiration for the design and color scheme was a fan art video game "sprite" I saw long ago online, with a healthy helping of reference to the wands seen in the S season of the animé.
And no, contrary to what you may have seen on YouTube, there is no canon Saturn henshin wand in the animé. The videos floating around online of her using a transformation wand are very well-done fanwork.
Saturn Starburst Brooch - Alright, I confess. This is simply an acrylic Christmas ornament I modified slightly and attached to a pin back to make a brooch. It's still pretty cool, though. :)
Super Brooches - Made on a whim because I had the stuff lying around. Wood base, polymer clay and pin backs. I have since come into posession of a good positive for making molds, so if I ever make these again they will be resin.

| Sailor Saturn Glaive - Estimated cost to reproduce: $250 USD - This was such a major undertaking, it gets it's own section!
Dubbed "The Giant Can Opener O'Doom" this was a commission that was a "great learning experience". That means that everything that could go wrong did. ^_^; My first scheme for construction crashed and burned, as did the second. When I retreated back into assemblage technique, I finally got somewhere. The blade and butt are plastic; the hilt is wood and plastic and the staff is wood. I had to get it into a shipping box so the staff breaks into two pieces and the blade and butt are also removeable.
Since the person I made it for is my height, just shy of two meters, the actual weapon itself came out very tall. That son of a biscuit was nine feet from tip to tip! There is no way to get that across in a photo of the Glaive by itself. Even putting a meter stick next to it for scale doesn't help. It just looks spindly. But when there's a human bean in the frame, it's true size becomes clear. I did 'Shop the image a bit (I figured no one wanted to look at all the trash on the floor. ;) but the scale of the Glaive is unaltered.
