group members. Now I'm doing well.
I want to thank the members of this group.
I do have a question for the group: lately there are fewer and fewer

How to disinfect a yellow gold diamond ring I inherited by
Suzie
Hi everyone
I inherited a beautiful diamond ring from my mother last year who
passed away from various things. However the one thing that really
worries me is the MRSA staph infection she had at time of her
passing. She wore the ring right up to the time of her death.
Can anyone tell me how to...

graver sharpening by
Ted Callier
I am trying to learn hand engraving on my own, with the help of two
books (Hardy/Bowman and Meeks). And watching videos on Youtube. These
are a great help to visualise the process of engraving. Thing is, I
just can't seem to find any instructional videos for sharpening
gravers. All I could find is...

Silver Casting by
Jack Schmidling
I have been thinking of casting a chalice in sliver in addition to making
some broach-like settings. I am set up to do sand casting and can probably
finish the stuff off in the machine shop.
I have a number of 100 oz ingots of .999 bulion to play with but suspect
that one does not want to use...

Buying a prop-ox torch setup by

answers to.

Hello All,
I am in the market for loose diamonds. I have been to several stores

I have searched the archives but have some specific questions comparing
the Meco Midget & the Little Torch, and how they will work with a wide

Hello all,
I've been a lost-wax caster for over thirty years, and I never really
learned to use a rolling mill. I never even bought one, because I could

you bench experts concerning rolling gold wire. For an upcoming...
