Glad you found it! I don't have nearly as much time to work on FIREFLY/SERNITY jewelry as I'd like, so I don't have tons of stuff right now. But I'm working on it. Things sell quickly, too, and I've got a long request list. Hard for me to keep up.

Up to this point, I've made at least one replica - or close as I can git based on screencaptures - of most of Inara's and Kaylee's jewelry. Some of Inara's pieces are very complicated, though, and would cost so much to make that I haven't done them, yet.

http://www.stpatricksguild.com/browse.cfm/4,11320.html is the exact metal, minus some sparkle, which I suspect was a set addition, and http://www.youandidesign.com/Chains/Stylus/F13 is the best I could find for the chain. I am not going to bother with the chain though, 10 dollar or 30 dollar... 10!

Yes, Bico is the only source I know of for similiar chain, but as you said, it's kind of pricey (and also not sterling like Jayne's, or the right length).

If you look carefully at the fuzzy picture of the St. Christopher medal at St. Patrick's Guild, it is indeed "diamond cut" - looks like on his staff, his arm and the two sides of his skirt/kilt outfit have little etches to catch the light (they are most noticeable on the staff and the left side of the kilt). Jayne's medal does not have these.

That being said, however, it's still the closest thing I've seen so far.

And if you want the shirt he wears during the "Hey, River, let's go for a nice shuttle ride" sequence - in which he's visibly wearing the medal, too - you can get it at: http://www.ssdesigner.com/tshirts.htm

It's the yellow one with a gun on it.

Oh, and the F12 is actually closer than the F13. The F13 is 3mm wide, while the F12 is only 2mm, which matches the measurement of the original Jayne chain.

Stay shiny!

I kind of don't want to do anything that might affect the front of the medal because it's got ... well, SERENITY dust, I guess... patina and dust and such in the stars, etc. Heck, Adam Baldwin's sweat for all I know. Don't want to mess that up.

There is a gentleman here in my little town who does pewter sandcasting (he owns an aluminum foundry, the pewter is just a fun sideline for him). He is not web savvy at all, but if you want to get in touch with him, PM me and I'll send you his name and phone number.

You would need to impress upon him the importance of being very careful with any possible sweat molecules. And yes, I'm sure he'll look at you funny.

heheh
