We will only have time to reprice our GAH products after the Berlin trade fairs, just for info.

The price of silver has seen 3x increase in the past year, USD $31.31 to $87.65.
GAH will be here in Paris at their showroom during Mens Fashion Week later this month. I look forward to seeing what is new.

@paris75009 This is true, however, Good Art has always placed a premium on their goods and most of that premium is baked into the labor, finish of the product, and costs of running a business in LA, not the price of silver. For example, let's say there's a Good Art piece that weighs 40 grams (1.42oz) and was priced at $1,000 using, an old silver price of $31.31/ounce the material cost for that product is about 4.5% silver and the rest of the price is labor/business expenses. Now with silver at $87.65/ounce that would bring the material price % to 12.5% without even marking up the bracelet. That's still an insane markup on material. I guarantee you if and when silver comes down, Good Art will not lower prices. Now I don't know the ins and outs of their business or financial picture. My main point is, Good Art already had massive markups on their pieces, I don't believe this increase in price was a necessity to keep their business alive, it's an opportunity to increase their profit margins.

I had my sights on a Model 10. It was gonna be a stretch, but with the price increase, it’s now beyond my means (and common sense).

@Conan Ironheart still has the motorcycle chain bracelet and it’s excellent.

@Conan
I think you nailed it right there. It's becoming beyond "common sense." Feels like they are purposefully transitioning into luxury brand territory, like Hermes or Patek, where the highest quality is obviously a requirement, but the reality is that you're paying an exorbitant premium for a brand name. -
@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot do you know if that was the full list of items going up ? surprised they aren't marking up every single piece
-
@kaacy1721 that was a list Vinavast shared with members of a WhatsApp group, which my buddy received. Don’t know anything for certain, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the list stretches further than that….

@hjl360 I wouldnt doubt it.

I had my eye on a model 10 this year as well, that’s kind of insane it went up $1k in one increase.
That’s a pass. -

I intended to wait until end of 2026 to get one but the 47% price increase made me jump on one now while some vendors are still selling at 2025 prices. It would be permanently out of reach otherwise. This will probably be one of the last GAH pieces I’ll reasonably be able to acquire.

@worn2fade not a back up for me; just a grail item (model 10 bracelet) that I have been planning to pick up for a long time now. I couldn’t do it with the new price structure so I just bit the bullet now while it’s still available at a reasonable price point.

@worn2fade I bought one (size b) because of their posts, the price increases and FOMO
That said, it looks like I'm quickly heading toward being a brass, copper and tin(man) myself. 
-
@jdwaid I bought another silver BLB for the same reason. I have wanted to upgrade from my OG brass and found one at the old price.
-
Quite a let down for a lot people. I always said Good Art has changed. It booming. But the prices are very greedy becoming ruthless.
I admit I have bought quite a a lot. The price started going up after Covid.
A lot of stuff I brought not worth the price Josh is charging today.
Price of the buddy loop in sliver Is terrible. Many of you are noticing now. For example before this hike. I got my curb chain for $1000 went up by $800 more.
Also I reach out to Good Art. Got told company decision.
For this reason I made my mind up, I will only buy a few things. Not go on a rampage speed for all of it.
I slow down a long time ago. -
This collab would’ve been my choice honestly. But I’m still not ready to drop 1k+ on a silver bracelet lol. I respect the art but I just can’t do that yet, as much as I want to and figure the price would only get worst from here.
