Latitude Ring !! Sterling silver Rhodium Plated
Thank you for the beautiful ring that you created for Allen. He really loved it
as a birthday gift and reminder of our first meeting place. We met for the first
time nine years ago in the cereal aisle of the Pali Safeway.
The Latitude ring you designed was perfect. I feel honored to be the owner of an
original piece from JB designs. I look forward to owning another Latitude
original piece. Maybe one commemorating our engagement. Thank you Jimmy.

Another Latitude Moment in time Key Tag
Wow !! What an amazing time and place dedication.
Thank you !!
It was an amazing moment on the dance floor with a person who, from the first time we met, it felt as if we had just always known each other – on the deepest level. I’m certain that somewhere in time we not only knew each other, but we loved each other. Funny how you meet thousands of people in life, but then you meet a certain someone who instantly touches your heart in a place you didn’t even know existed and life will never be the same. So this key tag is a gift to remind that certain someone of a special moment we shared in Music City - on the dance floor at Legends in Nashville, Tennessee. It was a full house that night, but at that moment in time, we were the only two people in the world.

It takes a while to find someone that just gets you. The one who knows what your thinking before you say it...the one person that when you look into their eyes, you see them 30 years from now. This is where I met that person..the one who just got me....Sperry's in Franklin TN.

Montaj 9
A gift for the owner of Montaj 9 Video production company. Honolulu Hawaii.
Check out the great Story below !! Thank you.
Check out the great Story below !! Thank you.
After years of giving the obligatory bottle of white for Christmas and birthdays, I decided it was time to get my boss something special. It's hard for me to tell him just how much I love my job and how thankful I am to be working at our small company of three. Most of the time he's my partner, but sometimes he's my boss, sometimes my older brother, much older brother, sometimes my mentor and all too often my tormentor. My boss wraps a urban, edgy style around his core of genuine warmth. He can be cordial and a touch chivalrous which catches the attention of women young and old. A year ago he took up sailing and jumped in head first with a transpac crossing from Hawaii with the intended destination of Washington. He did make it back but with one less life. The cuff was a perfect gift with it's latitude engraving, just in case he gets adventurous again. Together we customized it to layer in perfectly with his rugged exterior. He wears it everyday and it makes a clanking sound against another bracelet alerting me to his approach.

This matching pair of bracelets coordinates are on the north shore of Kauai. Kalihiwai to be precise. Below is the Mother to Daughter Letter and the location map. Thank you Kim, absolutely beautiful!!
Dearest Amy,
Even though your dad was sick we knew we wanted to have a family. Yet his treatments were rendering him sterile. So, to plan for the future we were banking sperm. As you can imagine that was an interesting effort and sorry if this is TMI now. One day we were laughing with his doctor about this effort and Dr. Jeff said off handedly “you guys should just get pregnant now the natural way, why don’t you try”? After mulling over the reality of being pregnant and having a child while we were fighting cancer we decided, yes, it would be a good thing. What better way to focus our energy? What better happy “project” could there be than starting our family?
We decided to let nature take its course. If it were meant to be it would happen. So, I stopped my birth control and we went on with our lives as normally as possible. Normal included neighbor island getaways. We had a favorite spot on Kaua‘i, a family friend of Pete’s had a cabin on the river/beach at Kalihiwai. We loved it there. We’d lie around on the punei on the lanai and read for hours, many times to each other. We’d play cards and scrabble. We’d cook and eat yummy food. And the best thing we did there was making you.
This is a picture of us on one of our day trips to Waimea Canyon during that fateful trip. It’s sweet that Pete is embracing my belly, yet we did not know yet what was already growing there. In his special way he must have known.
And so, I’ve commemorated this time and place with this bracelet for you. It has the latitude and longitude coordinates of Kalihiwai Beach and an inscription that tells, to me, one of the simplest most beautiful stories of my life.
22° 21” N 159° 42” W
July 1988 PETER + KIM = AMY
Honey I’m so glad you have been such a beautiful part of my life these last 21 years. I am very proud of you and love you very much. I’m very sure your dad would feel the same way. I wish for you all the best this year and many more. You have the world at your feet and I’m sure you will carve out a wonderful life for yourself. I am blessed to be a part of it.
Happy Birthday Sweet Amy Marie.
Ya ya Ya ya MUCH,
