Ihave been a customer of Celebrity Shopping Network for over a year and have purchased several thousand dollars worth of merchandise from them. On Januart 12-13th I purchased a $1400+ tanzanite from Jeremy Hall. I STILL have not received my stone! I have e-mailed with no response. I have...

Hi. I am looking for empty used clean nose pin boxes (Usually silver) that holds 20 pcs in white square transparent case with hard sponge look alike insert Need about 100 pcs. Thanks.

Hi, I have an used Rock Rascal that I wish to use to section rocks and minerals. It does not currently have a motor. From reading supply websites, it would seem that a 1/3 hp 1725 motor is sold for it.

Thank you for your responses so far. To see what I am talking about please go to this site http://touchwoodrings.com/ The rings are beautiful and not inexpensive. They are works of art in my view. Thanks again Bob Jones

I have a digital kiln that uses preprogrammed burnouts. They include 5 hour, 8 hour, and 12 hour burnouts. The hold temperature at the end of each burnout is 900 degrees F. I can also program my own burnouts. What do you think of 900 degrees F as a hold temperature for the preprogrammed burnouts?...

Thanks for the replies, as usual they were very helpful regards - Kendall

Hi out there. It's a bit quiet just now so here is a little something to look at. I have just become a grandmother for the first time and my daughter thought I might like to buy this for the baby. I trust she was joking.................. Ruth. http://www.itsmybinky.com/sowhgowi254d.html

An observation. A jeweler not far from my house in the Piedmont of North Carolina always seems to have an ad in The Smithsonian magazine. It's a fine publication. Once or twice I saw that he had two ads running a few pages apart for his whimsical bracelets and pendants (simple stuff, sterling, not...

would someone(many-the more the merrier) explain what the uses of micarta were/are in the jeweler's craft? i am hunting some of the old(15-20 years old) ivory(fades to yellow) colored micarta material. it came in rodsm and in sheets or slabs. i need some that is at least 1/2" in daimeter and at...

Hi all, I was curious if anyone here had ever attempted and hopefully succeeded at making their own frames for eyeglasses. Thanks.

Seems like my wife is not meant to have a silver fork like mine. The first one developed a fracture in the shank and eventually failed. The second one ditto on one of the tines and it just fell off when I tried to solder it. I suspect the problem is the hodgepodge metal I used so I am now...

In email, a regular participant of this group wondered whether something was wrong with the group, or I was away on vacation or something. No such situation. You guys simply haven[t had much to say, it seems. The last allowable post was on saturday. Since then, just spam has arrived... maybe I...

This might sound really daft, but I'll give it a go. I need to make some headpins for lampwork beads - they need to be about 4"long and have found instructions for melting them to make a little ball etc. My question is: I don't have a torch, could I use a small blowtorch instead? I don't want...

I'm looking for a u-channel that is 1/8 x 1/2 x .040 or close. I want bronze, but brass or steel will do. I've searched everything I have, and the internet. It seems like a very odd size, if I could find rectangular tubing an cut off a side that would be great. I've been thinking of ways to make...

Hello all *waves*! OK, I have an odd question. I recently ran across some wolf claws (legally obtained by the vendor), and want to make chokers with them. I made a bear-claw pendant where I wrapped the base of the claw in leather, but the wolf claws are too small (the ones I have range from 1/2...

I have a titanium plate, removed from my leg that I want to have melted & shaped into a ring or some other piece of jewelry. Is that asking for a huge thing from a jeweler or is it econimically feasible? TIA

I bought some turquoise at the weekend. Nice looking piece, but I paid very little and bought it from a retail "shopping mall" fossil shop, so work it out for yourself.... I'm in the UK BTW, so it's not a local stone, nor common, and I certainly don't know anything about it myself. My plan was to...
