They’re part of the Fractal creations line of jewelry created by Jesse Jerrell . A number of years back the line was acquired by Good Art and produced in our Santa Monica shop, primarily from cast Titanium. Truly amazing designs, and now-a-days the stuff of legends amongst piercing fans, with pieces regularly traded and highly coveted. These pieces were cast from the original molds in Sterling Silver and lovingly finished by hand (of course), shown in sizes 4ga, 2ga and 0ga. I’m sure some of you are scratching your heads right now. But I know there’s a few of you reading this who are completely stoked at the possibility of grabbing a pair.

A special order for some folks who were expecting something else (silly rabbits, this shit’s for clever kids). So it looks like these two are available, I’m just saying. The mens is a size 10, the ladies isn’t finished but could be in the 6 range, and it’s not a petite little thing. Ladies, you’ll have to really own this sucker. Gents, this is a ring that’s guaranteed to make you feel a bit taller.

I’ve been a fan of vegetable-dyed, hand sewn leather goods ever since my friend Eldon bestowed its few but exceptional virtues upon me. The stuff we use is made primarily for saddlery and tack gear, it’s a little stiff and a bit unforgiving at the start, but once you get some wear under your belt (so to speak) you’ll have yourself a leather piece to last a lifetime that feels as comforting as your grandpa’s hands ever did. There’s nothing like a perfectly worn wallet or key chain to make you feel at home until you get there. So that’s why we make things this way. We get our hides from a tannery that’s been doing it the same way for 140 years. No chromium, no weird caustic chemicals, just vegetable dyes in pots in the forest. We cut and punch everything out by hand and use two needles and thread to pull it all together. Earnest and study are the orders of the day when we’re making something from leather. And this Single Buckle Triple Skull leather bracelet is no exception. Start to finish, made by hand, cut and sewn, the Sterling Silver pieces cast right here in our little foundry, this like everything we make, is the genuine article. Expensive? No. Does it cost a lot, yep. But if this helps any, Sly can be seen wearing one most every day, and that includes in his latest movie. So if you want me to make you one too, go here.

It’s a an epic piece, approaching two pounds of Sterling Silver, this little fella was polished and beaten into submission by a five foot 3 inch Honduran. Fit for the desk of any endeavoring pirate, this one’s already found a home, watching over a friend’s office, but I’ll gladly boil up a few more for those with a yearning.

These leave in the morning for Tokyo.

Just finished these Jack Moto Rings, Sterling and Sterling w/22KT head, Ruby / White Diamond eyes. And now you can order your very own in the freshly updated SHOP

Here’s a pair of Model 10D’s. The “D” is the baddest on the bracelet block right now. Ultra thick and heavy and you’ll need a note from your chiropractor to order one. The 22KT one is the weight of a Yugo and price of a Porsche. Just finished this Sterling one for a friend of ours up in SF, she’s leaving via Fed-X in the morning. I’m almost sad to see her go, but I love to watch her walk away.

The Single Buckle Leather Bracelet. Vegetable-dyed American Steer, every stitch double-needle sewn by hand & Sterling Silver studs and buckle, each one lovingly cast and filed to perfect as a new paradigm of affluent pop/punk couture. This is luxury you never dreamed of when you stuck that first safety pin through your lip. And at about $1100 each, you’ll feel great knowing only a clever few will be sporting one at the show. And if you do spot something similar, walk confident knowing yours is the business and theirs is crap. Available in the SHOP any day now. Or shoot Rach an email for a gold one.

So, to clear up a few things, ACP is an acronym for Automatic Colt Pistol; the cartridge was designed by one of my favorite Mormons and arguably the single greatest contributor to modern firearms, John Browning. Dum dums are what nineteenth century hunters called what we gangsters now know as Hollow Points, or expanding bullets. And vampires don’t really mind silver. I can’t tell you how I know that last bit. Back to the pendant, the first dozen are done and I’m keeping one for myself. Shown here on a #3 Curb Chain w/Hook & Eye clasp, this little number will set you back about Twelve Medium. If you think you need one, for whatever reason, shoot this beautiful lady a note and it’ll be on the way to you in no time.

I’m thinking he doesn’t yet subscribe to the blog so I’m probably not blowing the surprise. Here’s a look in the rough.
