@seawolf reducing gold ratio to 8k/10k is not compromising on quality tho, just a choice to reduce the cost of manufacturing.
That's subjective. Some might say (Josh Warner, for instance in the very same video I referenced above) that reducing the ratio of gold is a decrease in quality because it's not really gold in the way that aligns with his brand. This is all subjective, and you can decide how you want to proceed with all of this information.

@seawolf Do you have a link to the video?
The argument that prices went up because of silver is unconvincing to me. The cost of everything is up, including silver. But I don’t think silver is the most important variable. I’d find it easier to accept if they stated that market pressures generally (i.e., labor, materials, insurance, taxes, etc.) are driving the cost increases.

@kaacy1721 I almost bought the 3 sixteen chain for that reason. Gotta pump the brakes a bit and see what happens.

Yeah I like those too.. But we gotta put our priority straight first, none of these materialistic things matters if our life aren't sorted.
On the side note, do we know what size of the links of the 3sixteen cuban links equates to GA's curb chain? size A? AA?

@kaacy1721 no, the video is something he posted in a Facebook group.

@Kasi yeah that’s what I did, didn’t work for me.

In my very humble opinion from another neutral observer who isn’t nearly as knowledgeable about the brand as most of the regular contributors to this thread …. My take, they’ve evolved into a luxury brand. As such, prices become more disconnected with raw inputs. It’s more about positioning the brand.
I sincerely do not mean this is any negative way. That’s just the reality of what I think I’m seeing here.
They make some seriously lovely stuff, and they must know what they can charge for it, same as say Rolex, or Cartier. At some point there is no other way to explain prices other than “it’s the brand”.
Just my thoughts.

They’ve definitely come a long way from making silver cocks….

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot the old…..Baloney Pony pendant. Oddly enough I was at a Pompeii exhibit and they loved the god Priapus. The winged wang was a very common fertility charm and they uncovered tons of them made in precious or other metals.
I’d say bring it back, but it would prob be $600
