So, about the dragons...
You guys have shocked me over and over again this year with how crazy popular these guys have been! When I first made these, I thought they would be too big/flashy, and too niche to be very popular. Boy, was I dead wrong!
I've had a few people message me already trying to pre-order, but I will NOT be allowing pre-orders on sneak peaks anymore because I feel like it doesn't give everyone a fair chance when styles are selling out before I even have a chance to list them. Especially on things with limited stock like these.
The dragons are always a limited restock because it takes me 3 days to make the ~30-36 dragons that I usually do at a time.
It takes me an entire day to custom mix colors, cut the dragons out and add all the tiny painted dots, little stars, the mica powder, and place the gems. Then, to make sure the gems stay in place, after they are baked, I pry every single gem out of each dragon and super glue it back into the indent I created with the baking process. That takes an entire day as well. Then it takes another day to hand carve the rough edges (they're too intricate to use a sanding drill) and attach all the gems and hooks.
I get more comments about these guys being "too expensive" than any of my other earrings. THERE'S A GOOD REASON GUYS 😅
The last 2 restocks have been during holiday season and it's super hard for me to fit those in. To give that much time to one style when my time is already so consumed really is a labor of love. I cannot offer these on a made to order basis either because I have to plan ahead to have enough gems ordered as they take a few weeks to come in.
All of that being said, this coming restock is going to be VERY limited. I think I have 1 pair of each color and I do not have as many colors as I normally do. I will not have gold and silver options in each color scheme like I did last drop.
I will update frequently, and will do a launch date and time with plenty of heads up so that you can be on the shop as soon as they drop to give everyone the best shot of getting what they want. Though I don't have an exact date picked yet, I'll make sure it's within plenty of time for orders to arrive for Christmas.
I'd love to explore either doing a dragon earring/bookmark/kindle charm pre-order or just a larger drop next year, maybe in February after things slow down. I know that doesn't help anyone with Christmas shopping, but I am already stretched so thin right now yall 😅
If I do pre-orders, I can offer more color variations because I'll only be making whatever is ordered instead of just guessing and stocking several of one color. Pre-orders for these will probably be a 4 week wait to give me plenty of time to have supplies ordered. Let me know what you guys think!
