Hi Octane Jewelry | Revvv up your look

Today I got email from a customer and it gave me goosebumps. Thanks for sharing. We love hearing why our customers love their cars. Please continue to share. Here it is. Received the '53 Buick grille ring. Special made size 8 without minimizing the size of the Buick. And it's perfect! We all have a story looking back. Mine is... In Michigan...during the Great Depression...my Dad stood in the snow day after day at the General Motors plant. And each day out of hundreds they took three men to work. One day my Dad said "What's wrong with me?"...so he was waved in to work. He stayed with General Motors for 40 years. His first job was in the pit applying creosote to running boards. He was General Superintendent of the South Gate CA plant (BOP - Buick Oldsmobile Pontiac) at the time the 1953 Buicks were rolling off the line. I wear the Buick for him. Many Thanks, D.A.

Porsche 356 B Bracelets | Hi Octane Jewelry Originally uploaded by aliciadesign We just finished these ultra cool 356 Porsche bracelets for my mom Candace and her friend Jill. Both the women are Porsche enthusiasts and both own 356 Porsches, although their husbands might argue with them over who really own the 356's. Candace has been encouraging us to make these bracelets for quite sometime and we were finally able to get them into production. We are so happy with the way they turned out. These classic car bracelets are a real conversation piece. I can't wait to hear about all the chatter they stir-up and the next car club event.

Hi Octane Jewelry | Bracelet Originally uploaded by aliciadesign These are something new, and my new favorite thing. Bracelets... I have an old indian bracelet that i bought at an antique store back in High school in Reno, that was the inspiration for these pieces. I love the simplicity of them. I love how they fit when I wear them. And how fun they are to make. I have them up on the Etsy store for now. Watch for more like these. I may even try some recycled bicycle emblems made into bracelets like these.

Well a very cool German Magazine just gave us some great press. Not sure what all it says but it looks good. And we love press especially International. Thank you Motoraver.

So far the reviews have been great on our car grille rings and our motor rings. Both men and women are buying them and wearing them. We have had a few couples buy them as engagement rings. These are true car lovers for sure. The biggest thing we want to do for next round of new rings is to create larger sizes. Brad, here at Hi Octane Jewelry has what most people including myself, would call very large hands. He wears from a 12 to a 14 depending on the finger. His hand looks like baseball mits next to most people. And as we have been doing booths at various shows around the west coast, we have a quite a few men walk up and want rings and they say I am 14, I am 16. So this round we are doing Big Ass Rings or Big Daddy Rings Sizes 10 -16 only. Here are the styles that will be coming out this fall. And they are going to BIG. Everything on these rings is bigger. They are thicker and wider and most importantly we will have a 16 when you ask for it.
