Non-modifiable jewlery?

Welcome to the world of jewelry design!

Why do I make some things 'no-mod'?

A bit of background on my work: I do *not* do texture on prim for pretty jewelry. I do full prim, at scale designs because nothing (and I do mean *nothing*) that I make at that scale can be properly made at normal size and scaled down. The first rings I made I went through 3 entire versions of before I finally had a suitable design. I made that mod, but everyone has damn fair warning that the positioning is so delicate that they take a risk even just scaling it up! When I make a 70+ prim piece and have linkage attachment problems that I take a day or two or five to solve, I will usually set *that* to no-mod as the likelihood of SL deciding to do an inventory rez glitch is just far too high.

Strangely enough, while I do make custom textures they are not the *point* of my work. Detail, precision, crafting and originality of work are my points. I try to give a level of detail and quality and positioning that no one else does. I am more than happy to give anyone mod permissions if they ask for them, although I will normally take away transfer priveleges. If a piece is really meant for someone else, then please, please tell me! I am no ogre on these things, but I want my design work to stay stable and be appreciated.

It has taken me *months* to get a half-way decent set of skills on jewelry and I do my hardest to make things that are pleasing, attractive and strange (or the old NASA 'choose two out of three'). When I got a note asking if I would consider making an interchangeable set of gems and rings and gave a ridiculously low amount so that they could sell them, I only smiled and declined. But I did point them to where they could actually see my work. It is *not* for everyone. It is not heavily scripted. It is not full of *bling*. And it definitely looks like the real thing when that is my aim, or like something one could almost never make in real life.

I try to make my jewelry so that it will fit nearly perfectly *THE FIRST TIME*. I am trying to do the exact same thing with shoes at different shoe sizes up to realistic human normal sizes. I am more than willing to make a copy so that it can be script modded, but the fair warning is that the moment you decide to change the behavior of an item, I wash my hands of it. If it does anything to mod a prim, shift pieces or otherwise change it out of its original configuration, I wish you luck at the puzzling results.

My jewelry is not for script containment, it is for looks and design work. I make it with imperfections as mathematical position is not as important as aesthetic looks. I make the things no one else can or wants to... and I try to make it look pleasing to the eye. Those that buy in-world beyond my freebie vendor, I try to give them other pieces to help go with the ones they bought. I tend to hand out 5 to 7 times the jewelry I sell, perhaps more, because I like to see people happy.

Not as customers.

But as people.

I am sorry to go on so much on this, but when I have spent 3 days and untold hours placing one single, solitary, tiny prim *just* right... with the right texture, the right placement, the right sizing... well, if you enjoy the *looks* of it, that is what matters to me.

If you want a script container, wear a 0.01m^3 invisiprim sphere in your neck or whatever.
