ITT: OP is looking for to raise investment capital for a contemporary pop art / jewelry project from Sup Forums.
Will be answering questions on this thread.
I am a second generation goldsmith. I have 15+ projects that need materials and labor covered, ranging from $5-30k in expenses. Including collaborations with large skate brands.
Offering 50/50 profit split on any project.
Jewelry generally has a minimum 3x return.
Literally would be the funniest shit if I found investment on Sup Forums.
Being as I don't want anyone to impersonate me later in the thread, my contact is: [email protected]
Want to do (very well executed) ridiculous things with some of the most valued materials on Earth + make a lot of money and contribute to contemporary pop art?
Lol. I've been on Sup Forums since 08. This felt like simultaneously a good way to offer something back - and like it would be fucking hilarious.
Obviously I would lose the anonymity for whoever wanted to follow through with this, but it feels worth it.

Is there actually a decent chance I'd get laid if I gave a girl jewelry as a gift?
Dylan Ward
No, makes you look desperate.

Matthew Morales
What if I am desperate?
Ryder Gomez
Then I guess you can spend thousands of dollars on a pity fuck.

ill bite. do you have any finished pieces you can show me? do you have to equipment required to manufacture jewelry? Or are you hoping to buy equipment after receiving funding?
Ethan Flores
Is that a cock ring?
Michael Roberts
also how did you learn such a skill?
Adam Morris
Second-generation jeweler. Born into it. First job. All the equipment, the team, and the studio is in place. The capital is needed to change to produce certain pieces which are currently outside of my ability to self-fund.
Happy to share my portfolio, and future direction over email: [email protected]

No, it's a $300,000, 100-carat necklace.

looks like your clientele would most likely be highly successful nig nogs. nothing wrong with that. why cant you post your work on here??
Thomas Scott
Point of the board in anonymity. So, I'm avoiding posting my own work as I can be identified personally by it.
Taking the time to email me before sharing is my hedge against unnecessary trolling.
Austin Perry
That said I'd fully willing to lose the anonymity in the event that I go into business with any of you.
Julian Reyes
well your looking for funding. soo post it. no one will identify you by it.
Nicholas White
Fair enough.
Here's a hand-carved calla lily necklace in 14 karat gold I made as a present for a friend.
Larger portfolio and future art direction available via email.
I have been doing this my whole life and have a team of uniquely specialized craftspeople which I employ.
This particular piece involved refining a shape through a reductive wax carving, then casting, and a multistep metal refining, cleaning, and polishing.
