I was checking this site out because I knew they had wheel of time jewlery (actually, I was checking the spelling) and found this great little link that said "Get jewlery for the man who's going to finish the series". I clicked, and found some great pieces!

Now it's just a matter of getting the money.

Indeed! Bedali has done an excellent job with these pieces, and I'm very pleased. We'll actually be selling them through my own website here starting in a week or so, and I intend to do previews of each Aon with a longer explanation of each one, its meaning, and the things it can do in AonDor. So, keep a watch on the blog, it might help you decide which one you'd be interested in getting!

Is there anything like this for the Mistborn series? (or perhaps something in the works?).
I'd love to buy some coins with the metal symbols on them or something similiar.
-
Oooh. Sweet! Now I know what to ask for on my birthday next month. ;) I wish they had earrings too. I wear earrings more often. Still, this is an unexpected surprise.
EUOL, how did this come about? Did someone at Bedali approach you or Joshua?
I too would love to see some Mistborn jewelry. A "boxing" earring/necklace set would be excellent. *wink, wink*

They approached us, actually. The company is in Salt Lake, and a member was in a book club that read ELANTRIS. They invited me to come visit the book club when they read the book, and she mentioned her jewelry company. A year later, here we are!
I am going to start previews on these this week on my website, and so if you've been waiting to order until you can get them directly from me, we'll be launching very soon.
Badali is a great company, and I've been very pleased with the association we've had with them. They are interested in doing MISTBORN works too, but whether or not we do that will depend on how well the ELANTRIS ones sell. (hint hint)

sweet! I didn't realize they were based out of utah. Do they have a brick and mortor store those from around there could go into?
-
We're starting to add each pendent to the BS Store as the rest should be up by tomorrow.

I think the system EUOL and I came up with should allow for easier viewing of the different colors and metal types then what Badali has.
-
The color switching thing you've worked up is really convenient!

Yay for that! It's really frustrating how they have that now. You barely get a look at the color before it morphs into another.
But the main problem is this: too many awesome ones to chose from!
-
I really like this idea and want to buy some but I'm not sure how "manly" they are...
-
I'm sure they're perfectly manly, Phaz. Raoden would wear one!
This is just the coolest thing ever! I can tell I'm going to spend forever dithering over which one to get....
-
Wow, I'm not usually into the idea of things made based upon books, but some of those are actually pretty cool.
-
For those that have been asking I beleive they're around an inch in width (for the largest one), I never held one so I'm probably off by a little.
-
Wow. I've always wanted a pendant sort of thing to wear, and since Brandon is officially my favorite author, I think I'm going to buy one! All of them look simply incredible. Badali has done some great work!
Rao and Ien appear to be my favorites at the moment.
-
I absolutely love the Ene pendant. I got mine with peacock enamel. That's a truly lovely color that looks like it flatters the silver quite nicely.
Thanks!
-
I received my aforementioned Ien Pendant. I got it with the Sapphire enamel, and considering how much I love blue, it is easily awesome. I was a bit worried the chain would be too short, but I wore it for a few hours and it's perfectly fine.
I think I'll upload a couple of images so people can see how large they are in comparison with like, yourself. It's hard to estimate those things with it being so zoomed in on the Aon (which, I guess, is the whole point of those images, but still).
Also, I think I'm going to buy a second one already.
