@sabergirl:

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

@Giles:

@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! 

@7tacos:

Deadly combo!

@Graham:

Pimpage.

This is wonderful!

Original F size was actually made for the Mountain…

@Manticore:

Like I said, naughty…

Arigato!

Enjoy @Manticore

@Manticore:

A fruitful visit to the foundry today. Josh @Warner and Rachel made me do naughty things. An incredible couple and very generous with their time. Already looking forward to my next visit.

Very nice people. Good people make good art. The foundry is such a beautiful place. I love the hardware on the display cases. Custom silver pieces.

On a personal note. Collected two more connectors. Addiction is real, I’m glad these don’t break the bank too badly. That is if I stop now, but momma didn’t raise no quitter.

Large slice of genius right here with the cutting of the #10 Ball Chain and adding more connectors! So into this!

Very nice photos guys, I'm glad we took our time on that sample! 

@PV/ATX:

Yeah that indeed looks pretty fantastic. Would be a hard decision, though! @Warner does that come all the various sizes? Guess I'd wanna stick with AA if I were to pick that one, just curious. Is there a price difference between this and the normal curb chain models?

The ID is available in all the Model 10 sizes, there is an up-charge for it, I think about 10%, not sure.

Right on @PV/ATX sounds like the double A is the one. There is also an ID version if that's what you're after. And yes, when in Los Angeles come to the Family Room. Open by appointment and worth the trouble. Lot's of good things to see.

Indeed @neph93 no falling off (and no fucking around).

We're looking for a photo to show relative scale, will try to get something posted this week. But generally the A size is the most popular and still larger than most similar curb chain style bracelets, B goes up considerably in width and height of the link. From there is just a matter of if you're after a smaller or larger bracelet. Personally the B is my favorite, I'm a large size at 6' and cheeseburger weight.

a little sterling silver snap on that left pocket wouldn't go astray…
