Green Shell, Luminous Shell, and Abalone Shell。Three types of inlays are shipped randomly.
Combining traditional craftsmanship with modern personalized design, also known as "Cyber Mother-of-Pearl".

However, the result isfantastic! Please note: Due to different angles, the glossy effect varies. Each mother-of-pearl counterweight is unique and cannot be identical to thereference picture.
Please refer to the actual product received for the final appearance.

I'd reach out via email to vendors like NovelKeys, Cannonkeys, DangKeebs, or Divinikey. They've all done group buys with international partners at varying scale and are good about communication and fulfillment

Definitely interested and in for one, especially with that mother of pearl inlay! Would also be potentially cool to maybe try out an orange color and see how it works with the designs, I feel like it would go well with most of those weight designs you've posted.
