August/September 2006
Opinion Poll
Chinchilla Millennia IV Jewelry Set
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.
