You can get these in silver from Butterfly silver shops. I was wearing one at a chain yesterday. The shop at Garden City has some most of the time, where abouts are you?

think it's the same, looks like it at least. I have to be careful to not look into the charm display case when i'm there or i might walk out with another one. :roll:

Have two at the moment, have been thinking about using one in the deluxe somewhere, just not sure how to do it yet!

And I thought you were gazing at my Manly chest, Ian ......

:wink: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Woohoo , thank's for the "push" guy's , finally found the charms , I thought they had gotten lost on one of the moves but no , were hidden away safely :D

Must be time to have a chat to a jeweller or something and get a mould made off one 8) Also want to get one set into a sygnet ring , would look cool I think .

Hi Ian,

Always setting the trends mate, always... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Butterfly silver generally prices them at $25.00 each, although the first one I got was $19.95.

Those other charms of yours look pretty nice, any ideas on where you found them?

Matt

Got them around 1996 at an antique shop in Berrima on the NSW Southern Highlands . The shop had bought out some jewellry supply place and had a tub on the counter full of silver charms so I grabbed all the mini's out of it . From memory I paid $7.50 each and bought about 20 . Most have since been sold on (I made several pairs into earings) and I'm down to the last 3 so will try and get them remade .
