Custom Tails

Terri Miller of Custom Tails Jewelry (formerly known as Quickfish Creations) creates very unique custom whale and dolphin tail replica jewelry. They are called "Signature Fluke Pendants". Each dolphin or whale has a different fluke (tail). They are as individual as our fingerprints. Most flukes have nicks around the edges and varied identifying marks and some are quite symmetrical. Terri will design, by hand, custom tail jewelry to look exactly the same as the dolphin or whale flukes that reside in your facility. A photograph of each dolphins tail is used to recreate that dolphins tail in silver or gold pendants.

The Signature Flukes come in two sizes, large and small. The large pendant is approximately 1 inch across and the small is approximately 3/4 inch across. The bail is 3 mm so it can fit up to a 3 mm chain. The smal and large size generic flukes are on the products page.

 
Custom Tails Jewelry is sold in gift stores, through organizations, to dolphin trainers and any dolphin lover. They are very popular. We make them for many dolphin facilities around the world. Come on and get in on the fun! We make two sizes in sterling silver and 14k gold. They are absolutely beautiful; smooth and sleek handcrafted items that match the flukes of the dolphins you love. See the jewelry page for picture of sizes. The large size pendants will show the most detail.   All we need is a photo to get started. The more accurate the picture, the more accurate the tail pendant will be. It should be an up-close, straight on shot. Send images by email. The price depends on the amount or quantity of each dolphin or whale tail ordered. Gift stores recieve a wholesale price. There may be set up fees for the initial order only. Dolphin trainers are offered special pricing when several staff members place an initail order all at once. Individuals pay the regular custom orders fee. All flukes will be engraved with the animals name on the back of pendant, unless otherwise stated. Engraving is included in the pricing. Email Terri for quotes. We accept checks by snail mail or credit card payments online. Initial orders go onto the list of orders as soon as payment is recieved. Finish time is 2-12 weeks depending on size of order and our schedule.

Note to stores: After the initial order is complete, it only takes 2-7 days to recieve subsequent orders. Thank you.

Making people happy, that's what we do!

"Hi Terri, My dolphin tail arrived yesterday.  All I can say is wow!  It looks great next to momma Calusa's tail, and the details are very precise.  Even the gift wrap you put around it was done well.  I will be sure to order from you in the future, as I love DRC and it's many dolphins.  I can't wait to show off my little tail to my friends and family. Thank-you again," Liah, N.C

"Dear Terri, My sister finally got the flukes and was ecstatic as to how lovely they are.  She has now taken it back to Bermuda where she will put it next to the real thing.  She is very proud of her personalised necklace and the rest of the crew at work are impressed. Thanks again for working on it. Kind regards, Lee"
