@Eza I ended up taking it to a jeweler and took out two links. It is perfect now for me, still a bit loose but not flowing up and down my arm to and hand as it was before.

@Anesthetist I know someone who will be in Nashville this weekend...

The pop-up is at Savas, they shared a showroom space in Paris during the last mens fashion week. I got measured for the Lowry over shirt while I was at the showroom by Savannah and picked it up later in a trip to the USA, her leather goods are incredible.

Anyone have experience ordering apparel directly from GAH? I ordered a t-shirt from their collaboration with Race Service a few weeks ago and haven't gotten any communication about it. I know the jewelry shipping time takes weeks unless it says ready to ship, but I wouldn't think extended shipping times would apply to their apparel.
-
@Kasi thanks for that. I reached out and they got back to me pretty quickly to explain it would be shipped out end of week. Delay was probably related to the holidays.

Hey y’all. I just received my grail piece, the Model 10 B. It isn’t as shiny as I expected. There is some tarnishing and marks on the clasp and the links at the connection point are rather grey. My other pieces from Good Art have always been bright out of the bag, but this one not so much. What do you think?
-
the connection / soldered areas have always arrive grey for me. the finishing on the clasp doesnt look to be the usual high quality from them. You could reach out and let them know to see what they say, but itll end up looking like that anyway after some wear.
The one oddity is how much tarnishing there appears to be on the SIDE of some of the links like that one next to the rosette. Do you have a picture of the whole bracelet?
-
@pechelman here is the best I can do with my iPhone. Yeah I expected the grey soldering marks at the interior of the links, but it’s on the exterior of the links and the clasp as well. You mentioned this would happen with time. Maybe it was a display piece. Is there a safe way to clean and polish? I looked up some approaches and the tin foil /baking soda method seems effective but I wouldn’t want to remove the parts of tarnish that are intentional within the rosette etc

@jdwaid use a silver polishing cloth from Goddards I've used it on my friends and he was amazed how clean it came up.
-
@jdwaid +1 to those cloths
what you dont want to do is get polishing stuff down into the dark areas because that could strip the "antiquing" or whatever you want to call it.But before you do anything, at a minimum, I'd still shoot them an email with these pictures and let them know. Maybe they would offer you a free trip back for your bracelet to get a cleaning and polishing?
Also, thanks for the pictures. I had an idea that maybe this was a used/returned bracelet that was configured wrong like DanielSan's a while back. Looks to be assembled correctly.
-
@pechelman Appreciate the insights and recommendations. I thought it might have been worn a bit before I got it. Glad to hear that its at least configured correctly. I know its legit based on the serial number. I probably will just polish it myself, not sure I want to part with it at this point for some weeks or months. Cheers
-
@jdwaid sorry if this was stated before, but did you buy this direct from GAH? Def doesn't have that new GA shine and finish. I've had my model 10 for a year now ands its way shinier with next to zero tarnishing like yours...
edit: looks like a Self Edge purchase...
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

Hit it gently with a polishing cloth, it will look like new in less than a minute. A cloth wont affect the liver of sulfur (dark spots) unless you really rub it aggressively.

@Mizmazzle I got it here from Iron Heart. The date on the certificate is June 2025, date on the clasp itself is 2023.
-
@Anesthetist good to know, thank you
-
@jdwaid this video from Good Art might help
-
@paris75009 yep I've seen this before and use the hand soap method for most of my GAH jewelry. I am more concerned about the level of tarnish on a brand new model 10, which I would reasonably expect to look pristine. It appears they fully missed the polishing part of production when preparing this piece.
