sorry for all the posts tonight
anyways i think it was chinacat that said he bought some necklaces and stuff made by Owsley. Does he still make it? i havent been able to find a vendor online. Does anyone know of one or if he has his own site? i would love to have a necklace by him....it would be an honor to own something made by the man that helped start it all. i would truly treasure it more than anything i own.

http://www.thebear.org/ You can buy belt buckles,necklaces and others stuff from his site. He has other jewlery but its very rare and not available to the public. I have several of his buckles and jewelry. There very nice.There are numbered and signed. I have a friend who was, lets say the man. He bought all of us who worked for him a solid silver Steal your Face(with a special engraving) after a very good tour. If you are ver at a Dead show go to the Greenpeice booth and there is a table with his stuff for sale. Sometimes he is there also. He used to be there all the time ,but after Jerry died has been around alot less. I ran into him once this summer. A note -His stuff is very expensive. The silver buckle I got as a gift was about $700.00.

As of a few months ago the silver GD buckle you describe was being sold for $1200USD and the bronze version was $600USD by Owsley.
He is also currently making an 18K gold version of the GD belt buckle in a cutout design which he sells for $7500USD.
Chinacat72 - I'd be interested to know what other Owsley pieces you own and any other details you'd be willing to share about how you acquired them -- I find your personal contributions to this board make for fascinating reading.
The last time I ran into Owsley was at the bar in the Ritz Carlton in Atlanta after the Omni shows in 93 -- after a few liquid rounds I was sufficiently messed up enough to fork over 300 bucks for one of his bronze thunderskull buckles which I think I've worn every day since then.
