    Had a friend back in college who made jewelry as a side business (art majors gotta do something, right?).  He told me materials were only about 25% of his asking price for a final piece and that the margins got even better for "famous" designers.  I suppose it's like high fashion- you pay for the name, not the material.

      what you mainly pay for is the craftsmanship and time to create….

          I've tried and tried but I am not a jewellery guy. At the end of the day, I fiddle with it too much and don't find it suits me. I've not had much, but dabbled in Starlingear, Steel Flame, and One Too Many.

          @MikeC:

          Everyone knows spot on silver is around $30 an ounce, right?  I'm with Injun on this one. Some of the silver goods prices are border line insulting.  😠

          FYI, this is my OPINION, so I don't want any crying over this comment.

          Why are you buying $500 IH jeans when you can buy $40 wranglers at Walmart. Same situation. 🙂 Products made by a craftsman (or craftswoman) will always cost more than those made by an unskilled factory labourer.

            Whatever.  Don't compare Fords/Ferraris and IH/Wrangler. I get craftsmanship, but the mark up is a little high.  You'll never convince me otherwise. 😶

                Yeah, I read that, but I'm pretty sure the quality Ferrari uses is much better than a Ford. It's a pretty vague statement considering Ford Shelby's go for serious cash too.  I like how everyone justifies the price hike. Enjoy that.

                  It was meant to be vague.  Because everything subjective is….

                    I'm not providing justification for anybody, thats their own prerogative. I was making a simple statement about voting with your wallet. Your opinions are your own 🙂 Not here to convince anyone of anything, just to enjoy the gear.

                    and Giles…Ford GT v Ferrari…. tough choices mate but what a good choice to have.  😘

                        I can't wear jewelry. Every time I do, it feels like it shouldn't be there.

                          Fully agree.

                          Beautiful pieces in this thread, Jordan do you have more teasers? 🙂 supersalami like your collection and your Wedding ring is extremely nice and special Joe, nice necklace kikuchi.

                                    Watching an Eric Clapton interview and noticed this. I believe it is The Flat Head's feather ring.

                                    Best screen grabs I could do.

                                      Would make sense- Clapton is an Iron Heart customer, wouldn't surprise me if Giles sold him some Flat Head gear, too.

                                        Thats pretty cool! I've been a fan as long as I can remember. Not surprised as I've seen pictures of him with some cool rings from some of my favourite makers and hes a real WIS (watch idiot savant).

                                        I wonder what IH gear he picked up?

                                          A shit load from SELA.  A few pairs of 634S and an IHW-03 in red/black from me …. The Madame flirts with him every time he orders......
