I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions for 'making' this. I found some local / internet sources for glass eyes and the lot that I'm going to start taking closer looks at, but I don't have a whole lot of familiarity with jewelry construction.
First off, does anyone know of any more photos of this particular piece (I know, asking a lot on that one) or has seen it in person who could comment on CCP's construction of it? I can sort of imagine how it might be done in my head, but practically, it seems like he'd have (obviously) more experience in the execution.
Basically, just sort of tossing it out there that I'm going to start playing around with this. If anyone has any suggestions / ideas / places to look, I'd certainly appreciate it.
I'm thinking that to make the construction more simple, I'm going to sort of "combine" the wrapped-nail ring and the eyeball, and have the eye 'held' from either side by the nail. This way, I don't have to source expensive / difficult jewelry accoutrements. Besides, nails are cool. I guess.
(I know, I may be biting off more than I can chew, but that damn ring is stuck in my head, so I'm going to try and make it for a friend)
edit: Here's the one I'm talking about:
