Description
Just a small test run to see how well this particular technique works. A pair of TF2 class token pendants. I'm entertaining the idea of actually selling a few of these, possibly in a couple other classes if people are interested. Please feel free to comment and let me know your thoughts!
Stainless steel, 3cm in diameter.
(Update: For sale here: [link] )

I do! Though I think you can actually order these straight from Shapeways, and they ship anywhere. Doesn't come with the necklace part, though.

That's great!
I've been looking for a nice pendant and I think that I found it C:

In a few days I'm hoping to have all nine classes posted for sale on Shapeways. They'll be around $25 each.

where do you ship? ( I forgot to ask about that.. )

Conveniently enough I'll be doing it through a 3rd party (Shapeways. Google 'em if you've never been there. it's a neat site) and I believe they ship everywhere.

Are they indented, made of metal? if so, i'd love a soldier one.

Oh! I really want to test that.

I would. It depends on how much effort goes into one of these little dudes, but I'd pay $20 for one with a rope. Soldier and medic would be my choices.
Also, as Lunarius said, being an artist or making jewelry is hard to at first break in to. But I am certain that little tokens like this with very iconic yet simple nerdery would sell very well. I.E The Tardis, Star Trek logo, Med-kit.
Doing something like this gets your name out there, then fans will look into your other stuff. I first discovered you for something TF2 related and have gone on to wish I had a great number of unrelated things in your gallery. In particular the flamenco earrings.
Just something to think about.

Depending on cost, I would totally love to rock a Scout emblem!
Would you be interested in making similar such small things? I imagine a lot of nerds wouldn't mind to subtly show their fandom with little wearable tokens like this, and across a myriad of fandoms.
Also? That's really amazing work. They look ultra spiffy.

Maybe? Probably on a small basis, if somebody approached me with a particular idea in mind. Don't think I'd ever just crank out a bunch and throw out the shingle, so to speak. Off in the land of the normal people I'm gearing up to try and break into the artisan jeweller market. So I don't really want a huge association with fan art following me around.
As an aside, what kind of price point would you consider reasonable?

I understand that entirely; I wish you the best of luck with that! I'm a huge Transformers fangirl; the thought of having something small like that to wear with one or the other factional insignia would just rock my socks super hardcore.
As for price, I have no idea. Speaking as someone who has no idea what sort of effort or time goes into making these, I'd feel wholly uncomfortable in offering a price. I can say that I'd be comfortable setting aside between $40 and $80 for one of these; past that I wouldn't be able to justify the expense (at this current point in time) even if the cost were totally reasonable on your end.
