Looks great @Jett129

About ten years ago there used to be a jewellery shop just off Carnaby Street in London, which I am sure was owned by (and or called) Jeremy Hoye, who currently has a jewellery shop in Brighton.
It was a multibrand store and one of the early ones to stock obscure Japanese jewellery brands who catered for men.
One day, I walked in there and came across a brand called Glenn. The bracelets were some of the best I have ever seen. Made in Japan from Ibushigin (pretty sure that was it) smoked silver, which had a beautiful dark patina to it. Some of the rings were pretty awesome too.
Being skint at the time, I did not get the bracelet but kept going back to look at it (longingly) many times. When finally went back to buy it, the shop had closed down. The jewellery brand also now seems to be defunct.
Managed to find one of their rings from a Japanese seller. Cloud design with what looks like dragon scales. It is beautifully made with a lot of texture to it. 18k gold has been inlaid at various points. Paid £95 for it including shipping!
If anyone knows of anywhere else can get one of their pieces please do let me know!

Beautiful details in that one. Nice buy

Couple of pieces from today

Something different for the day….. rhodium plated sterling silver…..
-
I’ve worn this every day since I picked it up in Lisbon about 10 years ago - my favourite piece. I love Portuguese gold….
-
Beautiful piece. I think that’s called anchor or mariner chain?
-
Thanks, man! I’ve heard it referred to as both, yeah.

Here is my RRL cuff (bangles are a complete loop). I bought an XL, had it engraved in my mom’s handwriting, and went to a metallurgist, who used a hydraulic jack pump to press it on vertically and horizontally. Needless to say, it has no give and is never coming off. No noise / annoyance issues either. No scratching, etc.
Mods, please don't delete - I'm trying to show how I got mine fit, which may help others with theirs.

Here it is on their site. I think the rounded-ness helps deter it scratching / catching --

Oi - check em Brothers and Sisters,
My mate who is a master jeweller made me this custom wolf ring which has great significant meaning to me (Tale of the two wolves)
Made from 925 silver and yellow diamonds for the eyes. It's very special to me, I hope you like it. The skull on my pinky in GHWD.

@Jase68 That’s rad!

Cool ring!
I suppose it is related to the beautiful dog with you in your pic? -

Picked this little guy up yesterday from Stephen Einhorn in Islington. A present to myself to celebrate joining the ranks of the moderately ancient. Really happy with it (although it’s surprisingly hard to get a good picture).
