    Hope this appropriate for discussion. So i am getting really big into Epicurean iconography, just ordered a bunch of shirts and socks from the Epicurean Emporium but i would like some necklaces or rings, especially want a necklace, unfortunately they all seem really expensive and unsure quality, what's worse if i type "Epicurean necklace" it just shows something with no relation to Epicurus, with the whole Epicureanism is about fancy and shiny things (damn you slanderers).

    I was curious if anyone knows any good sites for such things. Or is willing to make a sale or trade. Thanks.

    I am curious, too, if anyone has discovered any new seller! The only place I knew was Shapeways and Thangs Marketplace for 3D Creators. There was previously an order for a pendant with Epíkouros' face, available in plastic, silver, and gold, but they sold out. They do take custom orders.

    I'm keeping a list on my server of Epicurean merchants, so I'd like to add if there are more.

    Here is alternative to rings & necklaces:

    One inexpensive thing to do is to find an image of Epicurus online, and then print it out and frame it. Most libraries have printers if you don't have one yourself. The frame won't cost too much if you make it small 5"x7" or 8"x10". This would be one way to create something to place on a small "home altar".

    And another aspect to add to a home altar would be to add a few books on Epicurean philosophy - and an inexpensive alternative to books would be to print out the Principal Doctrines, etc. (again this could be done at a library). and bind them into an inexpensive school report folder. Also, there is the option of hand-writing the Doctrines or the Letter to Menoeceus and displaying it on the altar.
