There will be an addition of an “old school” category… for entrants who use basic jewelry that was available in the 90′s. There have been some pretty cool basic jewelry ear projects than have been executed over the years, by some pretty talented earchitects. We wanted to pay homage to where it all came from by giving the genre its own prizes. All who qualify to enter the “old school” category will also be entered into the main category.

1) TBJ-3/32”/TPRBJ-3/32” combo (Titanium Ball Joint-3/32”/Titanium Prong Ball Joint-3/32”)
2) TB-1/8”/TPRBJ-3mm combo (Titanium Ball-1/8”/Titanium Prong Ball Joint-3mm)
3) TB-5/32”/TPRBJ-4mm combo (Titanium Ball-5/32”/Titanium Prong Ball Joint-4mm)

This piece was put together to show off the three different sizes of ball joint pivot ends that are available.

In the center, there are five TUH6 (Titanium Universal Hub-6 hole); one with nothing attached, and four with various attachments. Starting with the naked one, and going counter-clockwise:
1) This shows you what a TUH6 looks like without anything attached to it.
2) This is a TUH6 with six TBJ-3/32” (Titanium Ball Joint-3/32”) screwed into it.
3) This is a TUH6 with three TDTD-5mm (Titanium Double Threaded Disk-5mm) screwed into three of the six holes, and the opposite thread of each TDTD is covered up by a TBJI-3/32” (Titanium Ball Joint Internal-3/32”)
4) This is a TUH6 (anodized copper) with three TBJ-3/32”(anodized yellow) screwed into three of the six holes. Attached to each of the three TBJ-3/32” are three TPRBJ-3/32”(anodized copper)… and what happens when you combine those two threaded ends together? That’s right… it creates a double threaded end that pivots!
5) This is a TUH6 that has six TDST 14/14 (Titanium Double Sided Thread-14g/14g) screwed into all six holes. The TDST, which is also available in 14g/16g, enables the TUH6 to be connected to barbells. They also can be used to connect other internally threaded parts together! Pretty neat, huh?

And in the pile to the left of miscellaneous parts, the only thing pictured that I haven’t described yet are the TTE-14g (Titanium Threaded Eye-14g). There are three pictured (one on the bottom left, and two in the middle on the right), and they can be screwed into any 14g internal part. To the eye part could be attached; dangles, jump rings, chain, etc…
So, what do you think about that?!!

In this picture there are three orbits. The two on the bottom are orbits that are already in our catalog (TBFGO3 & TBFG04). They both have the TBJI-3/32”(Titanium Ball Joint Internal-3/32”) screwed on to cover all of th…e threads. Attached to each of the TBJI, is a TPRBJ-3/32”… and those two ends combined, create a double sided threaded end that pivots. Screwed into the TPRBJ are straight barbells… but you could use 14g curves, circulars…whatever you want.

The third orbit, the one on the top, is not in the catalog yet. It is set with a BKO (black faux-pal), and there are three 14g threads protruding from the top… and three miniature “eyes” that are affixed underneath. The code for it is TFPGO6B1, which is the code for the orbit without the dangles. You could order it with or without the dangles attached, and can also now order dangles separately.

In our grand master plan to turn piercers into body jewelers… a piercer could have many variations from our ever emerging line of DIY body jewelry… and create absolutely stunning masterpieces on their own! ]]> http://www.isbodyjewelry.com/more-earmageddon-pieces/feed 2 http://www.isbodyjewelry.com/earmageddon-equipment http://www.isbodyjewelry.com/earmageddon-equipment#comments Fri, 04 Mar 2011 05:37:28 +0000 admin http://biz96.inmotionhosting.com/~isbody5/?p=259 Continue reading →]]> These items will be available to be ordered very soon. I wanted to get you all excited about what is on the horizon.

Pictured on the left, is a little thing I threw together (a body jeweler could too!). It consists of a TUH6 (Titanium Universal Hub-6 hole), that has screwed into it a TBJ-3/32” (Titanium Ball Joint-3/32”) on the bottom, and two TFPGO2-4mm (in the catalog) and one TFPGO2-6mm (in the catalog) on the top. Screwed on over each of the opposite threads of the three orbits are TBJI-3/32” (Titanium Ball Joint Internal-3/32”), and connected to all three of those are TPRBJ-3/32”(Titanium Prong Ball Joint-3/32”). Screwed onto all three of the TPRBJ-3/32” are TBB (Titanium Barbell) with TSB-5/32” (Titanium Spiked Ball-5/32”). It is all anodized dark blue and light blue.

Pictured on the right is another thing I threw together (you could too!). It consists of a TFPCGO3-6mm (in the catalog) that has two TCUBB (Titanium Curved Barbell) screwed onto two of the threads…with TSB-5/32” (Titanium Spiked Ball-3/32”) screwed onto them. The remaining thread on the orbit is covered by a TBJI-3/32” (Titanium Ball Joint Internal-3/32”), and attached to that is a TPRBJ-3/32”(Titanium Prong Ball Joint-3/32”). Screwed onto the TPRBJ-3/32” is a TBB (Titanium Barbell) with a TB-5/32” (Titanium Ball-5/32”). I anodized it all pink… for the ladies. Are you guys ready to get busy?

We decided on a matching set of three pieces of our jewelry. Because everybody has different piercings, the winner will be able to choose three pieces…to fill three of their holes… from these six selected categories:

Eyelets
Nostril Screws
Curved Barbells
Circular Barbells
Straight Barbells
Inspire-Ring w/ one threaded end

The jewelry to choose from can be of the gemmed variety, if the winner so desires. What a deal! Thank you for choosing Industrial Strength! Good Luck!
