I know it's kind of late on this one, but is it not possible to get this necklace from anywhere in the US? Upon making one, I would fail badly since I openly admit that I'm not the most creative person in the world. Preferable like this one. http://www.suruga-ya.jp/product/detail/765000762000

Good luck visiting retail stores with success. Even the most crazy otaku stores I have been in have never sold anything more than the Phoenix Wright manga (except I did find the GS5 artbook once, in a Japanese store).

When it comes to figurines and cool cosplay stuff like the necklace the focus of the store's merchandise is usually anime-oriented because that is what sells the most here. Which is normally fine with me, but it'd be nice to get some Ace Attorney love here too.

Online would probably be your only hope, but I couldn't say how successful that would be if you are trying to find one in the US.

I have checked many online shopping sites and found this one where you'd have to buy a suit with the necklace which is on ebay (around $90). It is pretty hard to find considering this is from 2008. The manufacturer that made this product is Movic and I have no idea whether they will make the product or not. If they do, then the other problem I would encounter is the company who ships internationally, since Movic does not.

Perhaps you can find a boutique or mall booth that personalizes necklaces, especially steel or metal ones? You know those types that makes metal pendants. That way you can have this exact shape that you need for your cosplay.
