Default It's always a matter of taste...

In reference to the bling applied to the grips, a protege' decorated his blacksmithing p/u truck with stick-on jewels. When parking, once, a passerby asked him if his daughter had done it. He has one son, but a wacky sense of humor and whimsy. These grips, indeed, reminded me of a typical adolescent girl's cell phone!
Although a bit free-form, this is nice work, incorporating what appears to be silver filigree/wire work and Malachite and turquoise. Just not my cup o'tea.
