How about a Liquidation sale?
As in I am about to start casting my spring designs, and I have some old work that no longer represents what I am doing/capable of, so if it does not sell in the next couple of weeks I will melt it and use it for casting new work. This was one of my first casting designs when I started merchanting Society for Creative Anachronism events. When I started casting I did not have the equipment to do lost wax but wanted to produce variations on pieces without having to make every one up from scratch (and have to charge for many hours of labor on each one) so I got really good at sandcasting jewelry. This is a heavy piece(almost 3/4 of an ounce of Sterling Silver) with garnet cabochons. The casting is approximately 1 3/4 inches at the widest(1 1/2 inch diameter circle) 

This design is a modernization of the decorative rondele decorations on the Ardagh Chalice (an 8th or 9th Century Irish chalice) and works well with SCA or Renfaire garb, as well as being a bold fashion statement piece for a night out, the club, or a metal show 
So $165.00 plus S&H (and sales tax if appropriate) Chain not included but I have some nice ones available if needed
I am having hand surgery in two weeks so the first weekend in March is when I will liquidate anything unsold of the sale pieces so I have castings to finish once I can get back to the bench
