Good Art Hollywood

[Gammaman]

Hi I’ve wanted some Good Art pieces for ages now like 3 years but because of what’s been happening in my personal life and my job it’s had to be put on hold until now. I changed jobs and now have the funds to purchase some items which I did.
I work in inspection as a non destructive testing technician and have spent my whole working life looking at lumps of metal eg welds, castings and forgings. Good Art uses the lost wax / investment casting method to make their pieces which is a highly skilled but rewarding way to make quality castings. A lot of aircraft components are made in this manner where as most parts in the automotive industry are injection cast which is less superior method and a lot less time consuming, quantity rather than quality.
So is Good Art worth the money? Hell yeah. The fit, the finish, ease of use, design, styling, attention to detail and quality of these pieces of art is amazing I don’t even like normal jewellery.
Sometimes castings can look pretty on the outside but on the inside they’re full of defects but not these they are top quality. I gave them the Gammaman treatment.️

Very cool technical info on GAH pieces @Gammaman . Not big on jewelry myself either but the points you make are bound to inch me ever closer to one of their wear pieces.

Very cool Gamma, thank you!

Bit of bling on a lefty these two brands work so well together….

Thinking about pulling the trigger on a BLB. Should I get the brass just to have one or should I go silver and ball out?

[sabergirl]

I’m sure mine may be the minority opinion, but I think brass is the smart call as it’ll be so much stronger for getting ahem yanked around all the time

[Matt]

That perspective is helpful. Probably more so.

I’ve often wondered how some of the more heavy use GAH things like the BLB, wallet chains, stuff that generally gets banged around more than a bracelet or a necklace etc fares in a softer metal like silver. Seems like it’d get hammered a lot faster than brass? Could be wrong.

[Kasi]

Have both. Not a big fan BLB

Use silver as a pendant
Brass my son uses it

Brass would be better

I use the brass cash grab like that better

Your right not wrong

@sabergirl I’m with you. I have a first gen BLB and even though it now lives on my wallet chain it was used and abused but still has faired better than my silver noodle slider.

Brass polish can bring it back to life

Pretty strong consensus gang. Thanks for the feedback.
