you already know…. sometimes you gotta go out there and hurt folks…
my girl got right the other day at that Lanvin H&M release…. so did you think I was really not gonna get myself anything? I mean at least something small
cmon mang
had to get in the V-Dozen…..
and then…
gotta have the shiny shit too…. from stud chains to stud shoes… oh yeeeee!
I definitely will be buying myself a a real xmas present soon….
but in the meantime it’s been a minute since I had to step out literally and shit on cats
so anyways, I was on fumes yesterday…. running from 9am to 9pm literally from 10 different places, meeting to meeting, from regular folks to hustlers to music biz to celebs… it made my head dizzy!
shout out to my chitown famo…. John Monopoly, it was nice to connect, always a pleasure doin biz and shout out to the other chitown John and of course to the big baller dave aka Fats… don’t trip, I’mma get you ICEE!
sat down at the Chateau Marmont yesterday with a good friend/client and caught up on a lotta shit… I love eating lunch at the Chateau because you see some ill characters inside there…. super models meeting with producers, Sofia Coppola was sitting right next to us and btw, the food is always super official….
some good blueprints and seeds being laid right now…. a nice plan B that could be a plan A coming in the future…. but not in a rush….

OKAY, ENOUGH WITH THE SMALL TALK….
LET’S GET TO THE CUSTOM JEWELRY!
3 out of 110 custom pieces that need to be done before xmas!
got an email from a client from Canada who wanted something for him and his siblings….
honesty, this was a pretty creative idea and it was created from pen to paper to photoshop to perfect execution by us 
he wanted something to represent the birth years of him, his brother and sister and have each piece only iced out for their respected birth year…..
so this is how it started….
THE DRAWING THAT MY CLIENT DREW UP…..
I MADE A SHITTIER VERSION OF THIS…. THANKS TO WARFARE CHRIS FOR CLEANING UP THE FONT AND PUTTING IT TOGETHER INSIDE 72 SECONDS….
and then….
the molds….
and then
BANG!
these are all made with VS diamonds…. 14k white gold and they are solid and heavy!
smaller, understated, classy charms
on the back he wanted a lightning bolt and this is the terrible image he gave me lol
but we nailed it as always
thanks again,
still building and cleaning up shit.
I’m very excited about a lot of things happening and not everything can be posted up on here…. but I try to put everything I can remember that happens on a regular day to day….
got a ton of running around and should have another 30 pieces done today!
crazy shit! back to work!
peace
