Yeah. In LA. There's this select shop called "Naked".

Just ask around, but as far as I know, it's kinda hard to locate. Just go to Maxfield's and ask for direction.

Most of Leonard's shops are in Japan tho.

I think for clothes, A&G has better design. Go see some at Ebay.

You like Stanley Guess too?

At the risk of sounding sacrilegious, what are people's thoughts about the knockoffs you find on ebay? I'm talking about the real .925 silver stuff..not the cheap steel crap.

Isn't it essentially the same thing? As in you're getting the same gothic designs (gothic crosses, skulls, daggers, etc) at decidedly cheaper prices than chrome hearts?

Try twistonline.com. They have quite a selection. Including Chrome Hearts. I think they have an actual store front to in Seattle and Portland. Tax free.

IMHO, a fake will always be a fake. Be it a fake, 99% close to authentic Panerai watch with the same movement to a fake 925 sterling silver Chrome Hearts. They are just not the same.

For example, you rock BAPE. Would you settle for another unknown brand that has a monkey or chimpanzee? Chrome hearts is different compared to A&G as BAPE is different compared to XLARGE.

And regarding fake, they will always be a market for all these knock offs. As they say, imitation is the highest form of flattery.

how much do bracelets cost? what's the general price range?

--- Original message by herpsky on Oct 21, 2005 12:04 AM

The basic ID smooth chain bracelet would cost around $1300USD. The more difficult and complicated the pattern and design, the more expensive it is. And depends on whether you want some stones set on it or not.

My personal fave would be the Fancy Chain bracelet with Cross clip.

The leather bracelet with buckle (Double R+R Gunslinger) cost around $650USD.

They have bangles and charms too.

Chrome Hearts jewelry goes well with stuffs like Dior Homme, Cloak just to name a few, IMO.

And lastly, Chrome Hearts Gum arm band that costs around $4USD. And which I also happen to have a few extras if anybody's interested:-)

I like their hoodies a lot just because of the designs

as far as brands that make similar styles I say go for it, because in relation to jewelery its more about style then name. I actually like the styles of the guys doing other brands better then the ones chrome hearts do

DOES WHAT I SAY INTEREST YOU?

I am available for employment,

full time, part time, & consulting, depending on the numbers

I am willing to work for major companies, brands, stores, and magazines

possibly whereever you want me to work, or what gap you need filled is up for discussion, from working directly with clothes to freelance writing

feel free to inquire about anything

For clothing designs and styles, I totally agree. However, for their jewelry, Chrome Hearts is definately on a league of it's own. With the exception of Leonard Kamhout.

Quite like their stuff but it's ludicrously priced - saw a nice oversized Zippo style lighter in Browns in London asked the price and they almost had to revive me when they told me it was £700. £700 for a puffed up Zippo - WTF?!?!?

Crazy Pig in Covent Garden does jewellery like this and it's so much better and resonably priced - they make the silver jewellery for all the rock gods you could think of so their credentials don't come much better...

I have the Zippo Chrome Hearts lighter. Tried to post some pics earlier, but still couldn't figure out how to.

If anyone's seen pictures of probably the best guitarist of all time, Keith Richards, he's always wearing a skull ring. It's made by Crazy Pig.

Yes, I know that Stanley Guess (ex Chrome Hearts Chief Designer) also have skull lighter design. I think it costs more than the Chrome Hearts one for that particular model.
