      @SKT said in What are the essentials:

      I refuse to buy a belt loop buddy (even though I want one) because this is a path I cannot go down

      They used to be <$100 when I bought mine.

        Belt loop buddy’s are impossible for me to use. Everyone says they’re so easy. NOPE.

            I love that Good Art makes so many unique products that fit different use cases for our individual lives. With this being said, essential can be a bit subjective…

            To me the Model 10 is the pinnacle, as well as the essential piece to own. I wear it every day, and it just nails the perfect blend of form and function. Once I added the Model 10 to my collection I finally felt satisfied.

              My first piece was the Bottle Bracelet and it was great but I wasnt satisfied until I got something w the rosette.

              Anything you buy is gonna be great. Go slow and enjoy what you get.

                I agree that a BLB (or EZ Slider) is a great place to start, especially without having to delve into sizing.

                      Ok dudes after reading your thoughts here’s what I got.

                      1. Pop lock necklace 24 (no pendant yet saving some money for now.)
                      2. pop lock bracelet
                      3. belt loop buddy silver
                      4. Pinky ring with rosette small.

                      Total cost was somewhere around 1600….

                      You can buy one single thing and spend 2k or more than that so I feel like I got off kinda easy….

                      Here’s the ring I got https://www.goodart.com/products/club-ring-small-sterling

                      Got the belt buddy in silver (good call or brass better?)

                        personally i like the BLB in brass. Also if you can find an older one i think they had nicer/beefier spring rings.

                          well, I'd buy C4 'Vette with money you can waste on those overpriced silver thingys, but that's just me.
                          Maybe this belongs to unpopolar opinions.

                              returned the bracelet and exchanged for something else super dope. I’ll show you when it comes in.

                                @SKT my thoughts exactly. i'm more of a "DIY jewelry" kinda guy.

                                Oh and for me, an 'essential' is a good pair of boots to go with my jeans, and a chain/tether for my wallet.

                                ...AND a good pair of shades.
