Does anyone know if there's a way to actually contact Esmerelda? I want a pair of grips for my SR1912 but the ones I want are always previously purchased. There doesn't seem to be any contact info on the website.

Be patient, her grips are well worth it. Keep in mind that any pattern that you see on her site can often be combined with other patterns.

I absolutely love her mosaic pattern, at first touch they feel smooth but when you tighten your grip they feel as if they're glued to your hand. Here are two examples where I asked her to combine different patterns to the mosaic background.



You can see the different heights of the tiles better in this pic with the American scroll pattern.

No extra charge.
She can't keep up with the pics on her website, by the time she's posted new pics, they're all sold. It doesn't hurt to ask about a pair that's listed as sold, sometimes the buyer doesn't follow through and they're still available.
When you see a grain pattern or color of wood you like, reference that to her and she'll make a set of what you're looking for. The same thing goes for any pattern that she puts on her grips, if they'll fit your application she'll put it on for you.
I won't buy wood grips from anyone else.

Some nice grip panels on that site. I'm especially fond of her ivorywood/Celtic basketweave design for the Ruger single-action sixguns.

Where am I to go now that I've gone too far?

I ended up calling, got her assistant, and a pair just like I wanted are on the way. The nice thing is she lives about an hour away so I hope to have them in a couple of days.

I had not seen the mosaic pattern, but it's beautiful. I ordered the American Scroll (like you have there with the mosaic) but with full checkering all around. I'll post a photo when they're on.

I agree, her work is superb. I've looked for hours over the past month or so and they are by far the best looking I've seen.

Thanks very much for the assist!

Grips are on, but posting photos to this board seems beyond me. I don't have a clue about how to upload to another site, post the link, etc...suffice to say they're everything I had hoped for.
