This unique spindle is all about you - and a perfect gifting spindle that is personalized with your choice of Zodiac Sign and Birthstone Crystal that is mounted to coordinate together. This amazingly detailed coin whorl is prepared and a thick layer of epoxy resin is applied to the top side to preserve the beauty and provides a smooth snag-free finish that will last. The bottom side of the whorl has a large silver plated cap mounted to it with 6 Birthstone color Preciosa Crystal Rhinestones (made in the Czech Republic) mounted inside - along with an additional 11 Black Diamond color crystals and an additional Birthstone Color crystal mounted next to your Zodiac Sign.

The shaft is made from a high-carbon spring steel and is colored with a 2-coat-process, high temperature powder-coat paint. All components, including a multi-crystal spacer bead and silver plated and stainless steel findings are all assembled with high strength 2-part industrial epoxy - and the aluminum whorl coin is post assembly milled and polished to a smooth shine and a perfect balance. This medium weight drop spindle has one of the best and longest lasting spins that I have made to date and it will work with almost any fiber.

Beautiful spindle and is well balanced. Will definitely purchase from this shop again. Fast fast delivery. Excellent experience with this seller.


Beautiful spindle and spins like a dream!


This is a little beauty. It is definitely well made. I have spun a little with it. It doesn’t retain the spin, as much as I would like, but I can deal with that!


And here I thought nothing could top that last spindle. Guess I was wrong, because this one is beyond fabulous! Gorgeous, sparkly, customized and a long stable spin time! What more could I want? Thanks John!! Tell Kyoku I am very pleased and I said she and Neville should both get more treats!
