Beginning in August of 2006, Chinchillas.com will offer for sale the exclusive Limited Edition Precious Metal Miniature Sculpture Series entitled Chinchilla Millennia IV & Chinchilla Millennia VI, by the talented miniature sculpture artist Barbara Scott Fisher. Each limited edition piece is insignia stamped, and comes with an embossed Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist. This piece will be a treasured collector's item for chinchilla enthusiasts, precious metal collectors, and art collectors alike. Chinchilla Millennia IV & Chinchilla Millennia VI will be offered in Sterling Silver Editions of 5,000 each.

Barbara Scott Fisher has a tremendous ability to recreate form and balance. She is a highly skilled New York artist who studied chinchilla conformation for several months in the process of creating this series. Her sculptures reflect the beautiful lines and aesthetic beauty of a well conformed chinchilla. Owners of the Chinchilla Millennia IV & Chinchilla Millennia VI sculptures should be well pleased with the fine details such as the unusual, anatomically correct footpads and delicate fur rolls around the ears. Chinchilla Millennia IV weighs 4.3 grams in sterling silver, and measures 13mm x 8mm x 8mm. Chinchilla Millennia VI weighs 3.3 grams in sterling silver, and measures 12mm x 7mm x 7mm.

The Chinchilla Millennia IV sculpture which will be shipped to the Opinion Poll Drawing Winner is one of the first pieces ever offered to the public. It is also one of the most desirable first ten in the series (the piece being offered is No. 9). It comes mounted on a one of a kind fine sterling silver, amethyst Swarovski crystal, and silver capped frosted glass jewelry set. The set includes the necklace with sculpture, and matching bracelet and earrings. Comparable sets that will be offered for sale to the public will be priced at $395, but this price does not take into account the collectible value of this being one of the first ten pieces in the series, or the exclusivity of the jewelry design.
