Jewelry - Silver/Gold/Pendants/Rings/Bracelets

I’ve owned this cat’s-eye bead David Yurman bracelet for over a decade. A few years back it stretched out almost an inch and the inner cable started showing, so I pretty much stopped wearing it. While I was in Chicago a few weekends ago, I had it on and stopped by DY they sent it off for a full cable repair for free. Finally fixed after all these years.
Next, I’m going to try my luck at using black leather dye to get this braided bracelet back to black… wish me luck.

Silver Score!
I’m too stoked not to share this one.
The wife is from Albuquerque and her dad was really into Navajo silver (and all things native art). She was going through old boxes and found one of her dad’s old sterling cuff. It just happened to fit me perfectly, so she gave it to me! I’ve never worn a bracelet this heavy and I’m really digging it.
You gotta love new stuff, shiny stuff, precious stuff, free stuff, heirloom stuff, and stuff with a story. It’s so cool when you get it all in one piece!
I’ve always been a gold guy, but I think I’m transitioning into a silver fanatic.

@goosehd Heck yea! Now THIS is the thread I was looking for. Thanks, bro!
-
@Go-For-Chill You’re welcome and nice score!

@indigostiff The pressed on cuff is crazy! Is it still on 2 years later? If not, how did you get it off?
I've always thought the permanent jewelry thing was cool, but it's usually delicate chains on women. This is an awesome idea
-
@Go-For-Chill Two years later - she's all the better! It does raise some interesting questions from others, and it's been through MRIs, security screens and the other with me - never coming off! I have though about others on my ankles, other wrist, etc., but this one prevails...!
-
@indigostiff This is so cool! I had a wild idea to do a thick silver chain, like the GA model 10 chain, but weld it on like girls do with those tiny gold ones. I've been thinking through the process and how to keep the skin protected during the process.

I had this pendant made by a local goldsmith. Its a Roman denarii from ca. 180 a.d., struck with the face of emperor Marcus Aurelius on the front and an altar, eagle and the inscription CONSECRATIO on the reverse.

About four and a half years ago, I had surgery to reattach my quad tendon to my knee after a catastrophic rupture. I forgot to remove my bracelet beforehand, and when they were prepping me for surgery, they did not have a screwdriver small enough to remove it. They told me they would have to cut it off. I said there was no way that was happening, so they ended up wrapping tape around it.
What I did not realize at the time is that metal jewelry can be a problem during surgery. They use electric tools to control bleeding, and the current is supposed to flow safely through your body to a grounding pad. Oh well, who knew? obviously not the dumb Home Builder/GC
I have not removed this bracelet well over five years…

@Kasi ty
debating this ring or the Courts & Hackett Reptilian ring -
@Anesthetist had to look that one up. Reptile ring looks pretty sick!
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...

They got some cool stuff
kingbabystudioSome dream of being cool, I make it look dangerous.🖕

@Kasi my wife likes their pieces. I visited their retail spot in Nashville and a lot of their stuff is cool but IMO they arent at the GAH level. Case in point, their money clips are just medallions welded onto a generic clip. Just felt a little underwhelmed.

@goosehd def looks like an index or pointer ring, that sucker is thick! I like the BWL piece. I had a little collection back in the day before selling it off for GoodArt. I think we still have one of his nature pendants that I gave to Dar years ago.

@Anesthetist old king baby studio was pretty good.
-
Regarding Courts & Hackett, I have had the Keith’s skull ring in my cart, many, many times…I need to just buy the damn thing. I have wanted it for years and kept putting it off. Seeing @ARNC ring with the blue sapphire’s has put me on the verge of buying one for a while now.

@goosehd mine is from Stephen Einhorn (as I think you know but this will save others having to trawl the forum). I have no experience of Courts & Hackett, but SE are definitely approaching things from a different angle to say TGF. A bit more of a classic/fine jewellery approach rather than naked rock’n’roll but they definitely have a thing for skulls. SE do a lot of film work too, so it’s possible you’ve seen their work on screen without knowing it.
