Description

The listing, ~*~YOUR NAME ON A GRAIN OF RICE~*~ has ended.

I am trying to start a small extra income business..so this is to get an idea of whether it is a good idea or if i need to choose something else. i have seen people at amusement parks doing this and they say its a good thing..but here in augusta, i did a ballot and i only had one person say she would buy this. so i wanted to try it on here to see if it would do better as an online thing.

***please read further***

i will write your name on a single grain of rice and encase it in clear tape and send it to you. i do not have any vials to put it in yet which is another reason i wanted to see if this would go over well online - so i don't waste the money on the vials to find that no one wants this kind of jewelry..but you will be pleased with what you get. i can use any color you please but i prefer to use black.

if gin is used, i will do another one with whatever you want written on it. i can even do multiple ones if you like. just let me know through an email once auction ends.

if this goes well, i will get vials and necklace chains/cords and make necklaces to put on here. then i will work my way to rings, bracelets, earrings and body jewelry. and with the oil that i will put in the vial, it will magnify the rice so that everyone can see what it says. i had one of these from sea world and i wore it til i left my dad's and i lost it within the move :(

anyways gin will be low for starters since it is only the rice and no necklaces yet :)

thanks..yeah its easy if you have a steady hand and the patience. you also have to have the right pen to write on the rice with otherwise it will rub off on your fingers or it will dissolve in the oil. theres a special pen you have to use, in which i have.

The added pictures are neat! Now I can visualize what this is! I would think the vials would work well for you. :)

Great Idea but I would would wait until you have the vials etc. cuz I would want them for Christmas presents so let me know when you get the stuff together OK. Thanks and Always Have A Great Day! Blessings!! BobandMarian

Yeah, if a vial can hold around 5 grains, that would be great! My mom might actually be interested in something like that, since we have five family members. Again, good luck!

yeah would be nice..i will definately be sure to let u know when i get started! ill fan u

I think this would be a good idea with vials and necklaces. Just my thoughts-- people might like something where you can have multiple grains of rice with different things written on them in the same vial. Like a girlfriend can get her name and her boyfriend's name and put them in the same vial. Something like that. Good luck with this!

good idea! i like ur thinking! i know the vials are big enough for up to 5 grains of rice..so if someone had kids, they could get their kids names written on each grain and stuck in a vial. they look like they would go over really well online and on here so it may be worth while and the money. thanks for all of yall's amazing comments!

it sounds cool...but the picture is so small and a grain of rice is so small... the necklaces and such possibly would go over well [=

i think it would too but i wasn't sure. i mean if someone wants it in a necklace then i will have to start the bid at a set amount..on my next auction, what i can do is set the gin at a certain amount and if the gin is used then i can put it in a vial and put it as an item of the winners choice (ie bracelet, necklace, key ring, etc.)

i bought a necklace about 12 years ago and i have it still today and i still wear it !!! it has my name and my husbands . the names are still as clear to read as the day i bought them ,,, i would like to get two necklaces for my two daughters and there boy friends but i dont live in california anymore so i cant get them for them

I would be more than happy to make them some if u were to possibly pay shipping. Of course I could put it on here but I would need the shipping to be paid..which is maybe $5 which beats paying $20 for the entire necklace. If u would be interested in this, I can give u my paypal info and we can go from there.
