To close out 2025 and tee up 2026, we took a golf ball tee and rebuilt it as a wearable pendant in solid gold. The concept is instantly familiar, but the execution had to feel intentional on a chain, not like a prop. This one was made as a true 1 of 1 novelty piece, with real weight, clean surfaces, and a finish that holds up in close shots.
A golf tee is small, but it carries a lot. It signals the start. The reset. The first swing before anything changes. That is what made it worth translating into metal. In pendant form, it becomes a personal marker: forward motion, quiet confidence, and a little bit of superstition in the best way.
The silhouette stays true to the original object, with proportions adjusted for wearability. The goal was balance: how it sits on chain, how it moves, and how it reads from across the room. Up close, it is all about precision. Surface smooth, edges crisp, and a polish tuned up so the piece arrives sharp without losing the identity of what it started as. The BB logo stamp is the signature detail placed with intent. A mark like that changes the piece from an idea into something claimed. It gives the pendant a point of view and a destination.
And notably with this piece, there's also a silent salute here to the championship side of golf. Our team has had the opportunity to create official championship rings for LIV Golf over the years, so the sport is not just an outside reference for us, it is part of the work. That background shapes how we approach even the smallest objects. Standards don't change when the scale changes.
This pendant closes one year and opens the next with the same message: keep it clean, keep it real, and keep moving. Some pieces are made to chase a moment. Others are made to mark one. A solid gold tee, worn into 2026. Tee up!
