Have you try the Facebook good art EDLC group seen many time gold things pop up.

@Kasi yep I’ve been watching that group for a while. Haven’t seen too many gold items pop up aside from a Shazam pendant here or there unfortunately

Could not disagree more with you. Material quality, intrinsic value, and time input are a large part of my personal equation when determining the value of something.

Regarding the cotton reference: There is significantly more time and design that goes into transforming the cotton you are referencing into a wearable piece of clothing. You can mass produce jewelry that essentially gets poured into a wax mold and then polished after being assembled far more efficiently than you can taking raw cotton and turning it into a pair of denim jeans.

Their gold pieces are unobtainable for nearly everyone in society.

Disagreement is good. I have been taken around the foundry a couple of times by Josh. My abiding impression both times was how does he sell this stuff for so little.

@Giles It's a pretty amazing tour, eh? I got the nickel tour a couple of years ago, and the fact that everything is handmade under one roof at that level is pretty mind-blowing.

That something I need to do, visits the foundry..

I disagree.

I think there's confusion between what's expensive and what's costly. It costs a lot to make things right. Whereas things that are expensive have inflated prices that aren't commensurate with the design, materials, and workmanship.

I think there is confusion between price and value.....

I think that's a more concise version of what I was saying. Price can be arbitrary. Value is intrinsic.
