I saw this style I really liked alot on bodyartforms.com,but they only make them up to 9mm :( .They kind of look like a talon,but not that exact shape-more like if you took a nail & bent it into like,a 7 shape.They're made out of glass.I looked on painfulpleasures.com,& they have something similar that goes larger than 9mm,but they're more like a true talon,& like a C shape,& I really wanted the ones that were more like a 7 because since they have a sharper bend in them,I figure the part that's actually in my hole will be of uniform size more so than the C ones,& they'll probably stay put better.I don't know if you can really picture what I mean,but if anyone's seen them in 7/16 or 1/2,if you could please let me know(Don't worry,I'm not planning to jam a 1/2" into a 7/16 hole,I'm about to go to a 7/16,then maybe 1/2 depending,& I wouldn't buy them til I'm sure of where I'm staying)

I know it maybe a little late seeing as though you're getting some made but I came across glass boomerangs on wildcataustralia.com.au last night. Maybe similar to what you wanted. Not sure about sizes though.

Those boomerang ones are really cool,but they don't go up to my size. But I wouldn't mind seeing if I can find them elsewhere in my size-I like that shape.But I like that site;I've never seen it before. And I'm always looking for new sites. I really liked those 'brutalist' tunnels they have on that site-I may go back & order some stuff from there :)

But yeah,those ones I'm waiting on are the more C-shaped ones-I realized that it's just hard to find claws at all in 1/2",& that kind is close enough. I actually ended up ordering a second pair but in plain glass from a company called BME-I'm not familiar with that company,but I've heard of it & it seemed to get decent reviews

It's funny. That site is where most of the chain piercers get their stuff from here in Oz. but the site now has a retail area. And costs far less comparably than the stores. I call that a win!!! I have bought some nice glass plugs from there (as my first ever plugs) as well as a bunch of other stuff, bars, stirrup, etc. The quality is what you'd get at any piercing place really. So not too bad.

Which one do you mean,BME or the site w/the boomerangs? Because I'd placed my order on 11/9 w/BME, & haven't gotten my order yet-it hasn't been that long,but since I haven't ordered from them before, I have nothing to base how long it'll take on. So I'm hoping to get it soon-my vertigo claws may take a couple more weeks, so I was hoping to get the plain ones soon.

Wildcat one. I've ordered stuff from them and got it in a few days. Mind you they are only sending it approx 1000 kilometres. They have had to put stuff on back order for me but I have had that in a few weeks max.
I've never ordered from BME so can't speak for their wait times. But I know what its like to wait. It seems painfully slow when you're excited for something to turn up. Like my stone and amber plugs. They are miles off yet. Maybe you could email them and ask for an expected/estimated delivery date. I'm sure you wouldn't be the first to ask that type of thing.
