lol.
1. fact, jacob is done, his business has dropped something like 78% which is beyond the scale. + he's going to jail. jacob has had that machine for almost 3 years and still was charging $12 to $15 to set a stone and absurd prices for a mold. so no, not worried about jacob, his watches...
what gets to me, honestly I get steamed and tight about this issue.
you see pieces like for $4,500 and when you see them in person, it's exactly what that is a piece that looks like $4,500
then you see a piece like Jermaine Dupri's SoSoDef piece that he supposedly paid $45,000 from johnny dang...
^^^^^ that pic was taken by some professional NBA photographer in like 1994, but I still had tats all over my arms, just not below short sleeves.
as for the ICEE FRESH name, it's there already, changing it would be a hassle.
most of my celeb clients just say Ben Baller the jeweler made it for...
we don't make mistakes its a rare mistake on the devil piece, we wanted the piece to be 4" tall including the bail, but my uncle made it 4" without the bail, so it was a couple thousand dollar mistake on our end.
as for money wise. we don't ever quote low, we always quote a little higher to...
yeh, the rosary's we've made are just under $3,000 and are sicc!
I'll post both of them soon, mine which is like 46" long or so and jonas's which is like 36" long or so.
mine's white, his is yellow

y'all don't even know, we got some big collabs, stuff coming in 07.....
and yes, our pricing will go up due to the rise of clients we've gained in the past few months. we've been real real fair with our prices considering the work, so after the spring time, it'll raise a little bit and then...
suggest what to NJD?
NJD has rubies....not red diamonds
the budget wasn't enough for us to make super tight pave' on the devil piece, so we finished the job still making it look really good. We actually messed up by making the piece too damn big. so he got a lot more then he asked for.
you...
they're red treated diamonds on the big bws piece and btw, we basically made that piece too. 40% of the stones fell out and we redid the entire thing.
we also are the official jeweler now for Terror Squad, so we've made those TS's too.
all our work is super dumb tight pave' setting when we do...
game and Baron are still def. very tied down and BD was put down in BWS around the same time I was like 4 years or so ago....
Baron is still at his house when I'm there from time to time....
and as for Fat Joe winning, I don't think so.
Jonas has destroyed his ice game, all around.
jonas has...
FOR YOU GUYS INTERESTED IN THE ONES SHOWN ABOVE.
THE ONE ON THE FAR LEFT IS LIKE JUST UNDER $4,000
THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE IS "OUR" ACTUAL JESUS MOLD WE MADE.
ITS LIKE $5,000 AS IS AND WE HAVE A WHITE ONE ON OUR ICEE FRESH PAGE WITH WHITE AND BLUE DIAMONDS FOR THE SAME PRICE.
BUT OUR JACOBS ARE...
naw son, these are solid 18k chains I'm talkin bout
and the pendants are solid 18k
hence jonas's 14k solid chain and 14k solid pendant weighing over 2lbs.
do you even know how stupid heavy that is? it's ******ed.

Smillions,
you see the pic above you, that's a straight up solid yellow gold franco on that yellow gold teddy bear. mariahs franco was custom, but we got that in 14k as well, solid.
a 40" 6mm franco in yellow gold will weigh about 175 grams in 10k
and about 215 - 220 in 14k
DJ Homicide, DJ AM...
HERE'S THE EXACT JESUS PIECE WE MADE FROM MALICE'S JACOB MOLD.
AND A CLOSE UP
only thing different is we didn't make the bail the same.
but jacob has made these with different bails.
we got the mold dead on. we're just charging about up to 40% cheaper then jacob was.
DJ Homicide, DJ AM...
I get these kids who send me over 100 messages on myspace and this kid tells me he's a millionaire, has bought from jacob and stuff and then I peep his myspace and see this:
look at my jacob jesus head
I mean, i have never seen worse clarity and colored stones in my life, the diamond setting...
18k gold is by request, its not recommended, but 18k is much heavier and only for those who got it like that to make especially a pendant in 18k.
most of Jonas's stuff is 18k and that's why it's so damn heavy.
if you ever see get to hold Mariahs piece which I doubt anyone will. lol..... it's so...
naw, i'm not doin a piece for the young guns, but what's funny is that rappers specifically are saying they got their work from us when we didn't do it, so we're going to start stamping our imprint on the bacc of our work from now on. I ain't gonna claim some weak jibb type piece or even...
yo gotty, john gotty, smoking section.....
I need some of those pics along with what I got from AP and Getty to put up on the site. holla at me asap please [email protected]
thanks!
