[PREORDER] Thorns Septum Rings - 16G and Faux

Hi all - if you'd like to see the design process for this one, I have a speedpaint on my Instagram! The two colorways we are first trying to unlock are black and silver.

Like all of my designs, it's comfortable and looks really cool worn. What's pictured are the faux version, the last photo shows what flat bar 16Gs look like in comparison.

Specs:
• Hypoallergenic brass base (free of lead, cadmium, nickel)
• Hypoallergenic plating (gunmetal for black, 18k gold, rhodium for silver)
• 16mm diameter lengthwise, 4mm between barbells, 15mm total height including top of barbells.
• Drop (from bottom of septum to lowest internal point of ring) is approximately 6mm when worn depending on nose shape.
• In-stock price will be $25.

Since this is an attempt to avoid using a crowdfund platform to get this made, I will be doing something different this time for this listing and the Sakura preorder to add transparency:

♡ Total goal: $1020 for ALL THREE colorways in 16G and faux. Two colorways would just be $665, which is why I am starting with only 2 available.
♡ This includes the shipping cost from the manufacturer to me, platform fees for the transaction, the mold cost for the 16G version, and card/paypal fees.
♡ Shipping is not included in that quote as it is charged "separately" in your transaction.
♡ This will take 30 individual ring pledges, 15 pledges for both colors, or anywhere inbetween.
♡ Current amount funded: $22/$665
♡ If any funding past this is received, but not to $1,020, it will go towards any unexpected expenses for the production of these rings, I do not anticipate raising enough to fund a 3rd colorway (gold) outside of preorders.

If funding goal of at least 2 colorways is not reached at the end of February 2025, all will be refunded. If funding goal is at least 80% at the end of January but I am unable to close the gap myself, I may resort to a very short crowdfund simply to close the small gap.
