Doesn’t it snap off like a snap-cap?

Yes, totally, same piece as the snap caps.

Hi all, sorry this took a minute. Sometimes I have a hard time navigating message boards. 

The snap is a standard one, get your finger nail under it and pry it off the top. It will pop off, I promise. But they are on there pretty tightly. If you trash your hat you can pop that thing off and snap it on your leather. Hope that helps and hope you're all great.

Best, Josh

Beautiful!

@ROman:

OK, I'll try this, I had a couple of drinks, photos will be old.

JUST PERFECT!

Love this! Took one apart in the airport to fly with it 

I need to be more careful with the Ol Ball & Chain… or am I misusing that expression  ::)

Thanks all,

Thoroughly honored anytime my work gets so much love and attention. I'm always happy to answer any questions. Glad this piece is communicating so well, it was made with a lot of love.

Hope you're all having a wonderful holiday season,

Josh

@Anesthetist Your comment caused a discussion between me and @Joe.  It was Joe who wrote the copy and was adamant it was Jesus.

So, I asked Josh.  It's Jesus…

Okay I've put my foot in my mouth… certainly not the first time and we all know it won't be the last. Here's how; Giles asked me point blank in an email, is JC depicted or the Blessed Mary and (not remembering from when I first made this piece) I grabbed one from a drawer, put a loupe to my eye and thinking I had just seen Jesus, I told Giles in reply to his email that it was Jesus there on the Jimmy Cross.

Seems there is also confusion about the story of this piece, here's the actual story, short and sweet. A friend of ours wanted to get something very special for her husband and he's not so much a jewelry guy. She knew he loved this little charm that his mother gave him and as she'd passed it was very prized and important to him. It was a Miraculous Medal and he wore it all the time. When she could, our friend swiped the piece from him and gave it to me to use as inspiration. The job was to reinterpret the piece, lux-ing it up a bit while still maintaining the feel and warmth of the original. A modern take Good Art style.

Shortly after it was noticed that the original was missing, the new piece was delivered to a joyous reception. We're not really friends with those people anymore but I hope Jimmy still wears and loves his namesake piece.

Hope that helps, sorry for the troubles, throw tomatoes not potatoes.

Love,

Josh

@7tacos:

The gold Ramen is Josh’s. I was trying it out up at Born Free in LA a few months back when I was getting sized (that’s not a pinky ring-for sizing).

Fucking rad piece.

The gold Ramen is the one. Cost’s as much as a Toyota but 1000 times cooler!

Sick pic. That Ramen Goosebumps is like Thor's hammer on my ring finger!
