Hi Drew,

I guess it's this topic you're referring to.

These purse mounts are made by Bractea from Poland: http://bractea.freha.pl
The purse was made by someone else, so it's possible to order the mounts seperately. When I ordered them they were â‚¬100,- ex. shipping, and that's for all the metal you see on the photos + the 'flags'.
They're silver, but knowing Bractea's capabilities, I'm sure they can do brass and bronze as well. Possibly even pewter, don't know for sure.

This is what it looks like in action:

DROOL...yes thats it ! Lovely pouch.

I contacted him earlier this year about them.

How fast was the turn around?

I need a new pouch as soon as possible and my figure it faster to make my own...but if he is "fast" I may just buy one to save the time.

It really depends, my ecranche took him a relatively very short time to make and have it delivered, but I can remember that I've been waiting quite some time for the purse set. I've had this set lying around for about a year before I found someone who was good enough with purse making to commission the order, so I can't remember it very well.

I guess it took about one and a half month between ordering and delivery.

Kaos,
Where did you get your rings from?

Kaos · Post by **Kaos** » Sun Nov 23, 2008 7:06 am

Those rings are custom made by a friend and trader from around here, http://www.zilverlinde.nl/

They're gold plated silver with real stones, so no glass here. One of the rings is a generic ring, but two are based on a painting by Memling, she also made a hanger to wear on my hat or to suspend from the upper points of my doublet. I'm doubting the cut of that stone to be 15th century, but I like it too much not to wear it for posh events.

Here are some more pics I just took in a hurry:

Unfortunately, I can't give you a deeplink, as her current historical work isn't featured on her website, yet. However, if you provide her with adequate examples, she can make whatever you like.

If you can't find her contact data on the site, please send me a PM, and I'll send you her mail adress.
