          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.

                      None of it is essential, but I guess the best “starters” are a belt loop buddy in brass or maybe a ball chain bracelet. Eases you into it.

                      I honestly didn’t “get it” until I listened to Josh on the Iron Cast talk about the business and process. Then I met him at the 20th anniversary party and got to talk with him for a bit.

                      What most people don’t get with Good Art is that you aren’t just paying money for silver jewelry but rather you are actually buying well-made, well designed, and creatively built pieces of wearable art. Pick and choose your starting point dollar wise, and go only as far as you want to go.

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

                        I felt the same way when I was using them the way they said to. I found a different way to do it, and it has made all the difference to me!

                          It’s fine here, for now!
