In 2011, when we launched the brand, I asked my dad if he could machine a bottle opener. At the time, I couldn't find a machined bottle opener anywhere. Most were cast, some were forged, but never machined. This is generally because machining is an expensive, precision process and not necessary for something like a bottle opener. My dad laughed at the idea but was up for it. I removed them from the site after he passed but now bringing them back with a slight upgrade.

The Passing Coin is just that, it is a coin created to keep for yourself and pass on to those you love. We created the Passing Coin as a symbol of love, strength and reassurance, and to solidify the everlasting bond with those you care about. I love having something tangible to hold closely, acting as a constant reminder that no matter what the current situation may be in our lives, our love is safe and can withstand anything life may throw our way. We can hold onto the coin during the darkest of hours, whether feeling alone and apart from those we love most, nervous about starting a new chapter in life, living thousands of miles away for an unknown amount of time, no matter the circumstance, the Passing Coin reminds you that someone loves you. I carry this coin with me wherever I go, whether in my pocket or in my wallet, I never leave without it.  My girls carry one as well, which in turn keeps the bond and connection between us, and is a constant reminder that our love will never go away.  I love this coin, it can be given for a thousand different reasons to a thousand different people, and whatever the circumstance, the Passing Coin’s purpose will always remain; No matter where you are, I am here with you, and this too shall pass.

Years ago, I helped my wife launch her brand, Gemma Raffo. A brand born out adversity and pain with the hope of helping others get through difficult times. Unfortunately, trying to run two websites became overwhelming so we temporarily shut it down with the intention of bringing it back "when time allowed". I've finally accepted that time will never allow so we are going to combine the brands and release products, new and old, here on the J. L. L. site. 

This is a reintroduction of her first coin, The Passing Coin, but with a twist. A special edition CNC machined and deep laser engraved version. We will be bringing back the original soon but I was too excited about this version not to launch it.

This is our second co-branded coin with Coincide by JBstudio.

The Platonic Coin is the second in a collection of coins inspired by important developments in Philosophy, Science and Math. Like its predecessor, The Fibonacci Coin, its purpose is to highlight the beauty of the natural world and help us participate in an ongoing conversation about how we interpret and define it. Plato represents countless inquiring minds who, through the course of human evolution, have attempted to make sense of the seemingly unknowable nature of the universe.

The second homage to one of my favorite novels, 1984.

Are you a Thought criminal?

UNTHINK UNGOOD THOUGHTCRIMES

Updated version!

Specifications:

Minted blank and deep laser engraved

Metal: Bronze

Size: 1" diameter and slightly concave on both sides
         .125" thick (just under 1/8" thick)

Thoughtcrime is a word coined by George Orwell in his 1949 dystopian novel 1984. It describes a person's politically unorthodox thoughts, such as unspoken beliefs and doubts that contradict the tenets of Ingsoc (English Socialism), the dominant ideology of Oceania. In the official language of Newspeak, the word crimethink describes the intellectual actions of a person who entertains and holds politically unacceptable thoughts; thus the government of the Party controls the speech, the actions and the thoughts of the citizens of Oceania. In contemporary English usage, the word thoughtcrime describes beliefs that are contrary to accepted norms of society, and is used to describe theological concepts, such as disbelief and idolatry, and the rejection of an ideology.

I've been asked quite a few times to make my version of one but I didn't quite get them.  It's not a top, not a coin...what's the point?  Then I made a spinner and absolutely loved the weight and feel in my hands.  I get the whole "worry coin" concept now but I still couldn't turn a simple coin and leave it at that.  A few months back my wife suggested that I incorporate a compass into something simply because they are aesthetically pleasing...I couldn't agree more.

To all survival types...I'm well aware that this isn't the best way to carry a compass in a survival situation.  It's meant to be a bit of a novelty but the compass is indeed functional...and is mesmerizing to watch while spinning.

The perfect accessory from the office to the campground.

Man is by nature a social animal; an individual who is unsocial naturally and not accidentally is either beneath our notice or more than human. Society is something in nature that precedes the individual. Anyone who either cannot lead the common life or is so self-sufficient as not to need to, and therefore does not partake of society, is either a beast or a god.

-Aristotle

Without a society, we'd all be best friends with volleyballs.
