Title: I have a new Golden Heart!!!!
Post by: ingridswing on April 05, 2013, 01:08:58 AM
Dear all, I am very happy that one of the dutch MK-fans found a golden heart on ebay. I just won it. A ridiculous high price (automatic bidder had a real high maximum) but finally I have one again. Hope to be able to collect it myself saturday because I can't rely on the dutch postal services. They make a mess of it nowadays.

 :D happy but in Dire Straits now  :P

So glad for you Ingrid! You are going to gold plated like the previous one?

A belt?

Belt? No, did you never read my story about losing my Golden Heart necklace in 2008.
BBB and I are from the same year, 1968. So in 2008 we became 40 and were 30 years fan of DS/MK. We organized a Dire Straits related birthdayparty in Norfolk England with DS tribute band, Red Fender shaped cake etc. Some of the forumers were there too.
After the party I went on holiday to Ireland. Unfortunately, they hacked my car and took everything with them. Including my Golden Heart necklace. The other stuff, passport, driverslicense, bankcards, clothes, every thing is easy to replace. But never found a Golden Heart again.

So now I have one again.

@vgonis:
I think I will have it goldplated again yes. But first the tour and earn some money as well. When I have done it again I will put a picture here.

I saw a leather belt in eBay with the golden heart pendant, exactly the same, so I thought it was that one you bought. The gh can be removed from the belt and use it in a necklace.

I wonder if it can be ordered to be made from a jeweler at a good price and order a good amount for Mk fans...

jbaent, I like the idea.  I tried to look for the necklace on ebay and the internet, but to no avail.  Where can we get one??????

Post by: vgonis on April 06, 2013, 09:45:31 PM
Unless it is made in vast numbers it won't be cheap. And there are copyright issues , for the artist.
Title: Re: I have a new Golden Heart!!!!
Post by: ingridswing on April 06, 2013, 11:45:38 PM
Some years ago I had contact with an american artist who wanted to copy one for me if I could borrow a real one.
I think I still have the e-mails somewhere. We can ask the management if there are copyrightissues if we do so.

But one thing, I now have a new one, so I don't want to send mine to have it copied.  :D

The title of the thread reminds me every time of the Pixies song:" I've got a broken face". Sorry for the useless info and the notification.  :disbelief

Here are the pictures. It's in very good shape, almost no damage. Maybe I will wear it during the tour, but then I wear it day and night, not to be able to lose it again  :P
Title: Re: I have a new Golden Heart!!!!

It looks very nice, Ingrid!   I'm looking forward to seeing you wearing it soon!   :D

Great one! Thanks for the photos! Do not wear it at concerts. A common place to lose crosses, bracelets etc. It would be a pity.

I thought a lot of members here would have one.

But it seems not, who else here also has a golden heart?

I attented one of the Barcelona shows, and there was not any golden heart to buy :(
Title: Re: I have a new Golden Heart!!!!
Post by: man on a track on April 10, 2013, 11:32:38 AM
Got one  :)  :thumbsup  :)
But not from the tour, either.
Was lucky to find one in ebay a few years back.
(Before Ingridswing's was stolen  ::) )

I have one.
My friend Mason bought one in Cologne or Bielefeld.
I liked it, so we changed. I gave him two Clapton bootlegs...  ;) ;D :P

What did you have to pay when I may ask
Title: Re: I have a new Golden Heart!!!!
Post by: dennisbrouwer on April 29, 2013, 12:30:19 PM
I bought it at the Rotterdam show (2/6/2001) together with all other items.

I am so happy for you, Ingrid!   If anyone deserves to have her Golden Heart back,it is you.   Now if I can someday find one. . .   
Title: Re: I have a new Golden Heart!!!!
Post by: IrisRose on May 11, 2013, 07:45:15 PM
I have something similar.  It is a pin, with a red ring around the edges, and a golden heart in the middle.      I'll try to take a decent picture of it and put it on as my avatar.

I just read this message Ingrid and I am so happy that you found a golden heart again! .....That is really great! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/Fieneke2/Emoticons/Celebrate-s.gif)
I know how much you loved the one you were wearing in Norwich!

Although I would like to see it, I wouldn't wear it during the concerts if I was you, except when it is protected by
 a big strong chain with a padlock! But then, it might be to heavy to wear! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/Fieneke2/Emoticons/Grinning.gif)
