Hey there! I'm the one making these gems, thanks for all the compliments. To answer some questions, I had a lot of trial and error with the colour and the backing, I decided to go with a combination of what looks right for a cartoon and what looks good in person. The pink in that one image is a bit blown out due to me using a filter on Instagram, they're less hot in person. I back the gems in white in order to keep them bright and colourful, I tried using a silver backing, but it darkens them too much, and the lack of facts (real gems have tons) means you aren't going to get much glitter anyway. Feel free to check out my instagram.com/gibbsmaille for lots of progress pics.

As for the chainmaille ball pouches, why the hell not? :) I don't particularly care if you don't like looking at fat dudes in jockstraps, lots of other people do.
