A necklace I am proud of :) by
Flic
I have taken up making jewellery recently and have done a couple of
pieces, but the one I created last night I am very proud of. It took
about 5 hours, mainly because I was doing some joins I hadn't done
before and it took me a while to get the hang of it. I would appreciate
it if any body would...

places can get the stuff in one pound bars but I was hoping to find a
small tub of it in technical grade. ...

Are some gemstones too fragile for every day use? by
George Mauer
Hello,
I am looking for an engagement ring and I've determined that my price-
range ($1500) should be enough to allow me to get a decent mounting
with a nice bling-y semi-precious stone. Probably I would like
something large, shiny and purple or pink.
I've been talking to a lot of jewelers about...

HELP - White gold ring with black marks?? by
Moochie
I bought an 18K white gold engagement ring, and noticed that the
inside of the ring had these black marks that look like black rust (or
dark grey rust). The jeweler said that this may happen if the ring is
exposed to extreme heat. So, the jeweler said she "polished" it, and

Gold Plating by

My fork tines are again beginning to show the blueing we previously

the pan.
My next attempt will be to "temper" the tines. I am thinking just
enough heat to almost get to the "straw color" and then cool. Quench
