investment casting question by
robr
I need to make a "key" to fit an odd security type "lock". It's not a
real lock in the sense there are no tumblers, but it was suggested to
me that investment casting would be necessary. I've been reading up on
that but could really use pointers to resources that would teach me how
to do this at...

Why all the fuss about white gold? by
Frosty
I notice a lot of fuss on Orchid about (nickel alloyed) white gold and
the assumption that it's so difficult to work with, i.e., cracking and
stuff.
I have no problem with it whatsoever.
I wonder what all the brew-ha-ha is all about?

Question on buying 2 earrings for each ear. by
Chiefhero
My girlfirend like pearls, should I get two pearl studs that are the
same size or should I get one that is slightly smaller than the other.
What would look better, two that are the same size or one that is
smaller than the other so it creates a tier. What are your thoughts?
Thanks.

several things I need, and no more. I'm looking for a watch with a
unidirectional rotating bezel, alarm, date and ideally day. Does anyone
know of a watch that does all this but no more? Thanks for any advice.

for many years. The problem is all of the soldered joints have become very
