To start off with, here's mine. I've been collecting for, I guess, sixish years at this point. Sorry for the shitty pictures. Plugs (2g-0g-a few 9mm): Hangies: Stone/metal: Glass: Wood:

Not the best pictures, I've got too much stuff and the photos are taken from a distance to include everything. I'll do better pictures on another date The majority of my collection is 1g but I also have a lot of 2g stuff mixed in where 1g was not available and I switch between the sizes. Black and white and silver stuff, stone, wood and mixed metals: The rest is mostly glass with some metal: Red through to Green and Turquise: Blue through to rainbow and misc: Mixed silicone and acrylics: 8g stuff which is for my currently shrunken down seconds, glass, stone and garbage acrylic, plus a few bits and bobs in different sizes: I need to do a purge and take some nice pics in-ear of some of my faves. I have a lot of ends also for my conch and some more coming for my new nostril and lip piercings, mostly Neometal, not shown.

The fact that these are all organized by color is soo satisfying. Beautiful collection! I'm totally drooling over your hangies

Thank you! <3 Although I wouldn't recommend doing it, actually, it's infuriating now because I have to meticulously shift everything to fit new stuff in and all the iridescent stuff (top left - solid satins, gg quadchro etc) doesn't fit anywhere. Colours are hard!
Jessamine, your collection is huge and gorgeous! What are the spirals in the bottom row, second last pic?

You both have the rainbow thing going on and it's awesome! I need to post mine again soon, it's been a while since I've posted my collection. I've been trying to fill in stone and other things that I want, it's rather IS heavy atm. Are the top half diamonds lavender jade, Lana? If so, we match. ( Link...and those little dragons are yours, haha)

lana I agree once you get on the colour coding thing the things that don't really fit anywhere become frustrating ha ha. I wonder how many people colour code who are jewelry collectors with reasonable sized collections? There is an obsessiveness many of us have that can lead to such behaviour. I think it's fun and awesome so I'm not saying we all have OCD or OCPD or anything, just a tinge of obsessive and perfectionistic traits. Probably just like anyone else who collects things they hold subjectively to be valuable, be it glassware or stamps or anything else. Thank you for the compliment! The spirals in with the Kaos silicone are shitty glow in the dark acrylics but I think they're cute

Hahahaha that's right! Yep, lavender jade ones. We have similar taste - I love the colour of your sodalite arrowheads, I sold my hematite ones because I have wussy lobes and they were too heavy. I'd love to see your collection in full!

I'd love to see your collection in full! Thanks! Those used to be Georgie's, I believe. I remember when you were selling the hematite ones - I remember you mentioning they were super heavy. I'll have to see if I can maybe get everything together sometime this week or next. I have crummy lighting everywhere.

I don't really own anything super exciting, but here's mine. No new additions in ages, but I've got a hankering for some new shinies. Mostly between 0g and 10mm, plus 6ga for my conch plugs. Some of the hanging designs are smaller, like my anatomica weights. There are also at least three pairs of glass plugs in there that have been painted with nail polish, all pairs that came in secondhand lots and I didn't like the colours, so I spruced them up! Here's to making some new additions soon!

Who makes those arrowhead weights on the left? You didn't ask me, but Abaraka. I have a pair too and they're lovely. I'm also wicked jealous of the candycanes.

At the time, mine were the largest candy canes Bill had made at 9mm,so they're a little wonky in places, but I love them with all my heart <3

Double post, but Google is failing me. How do I find those weights? Are they not being made anymore? I can't really find anything about Abaraka online.
