Thank you -this is just the advise I needed. I suspected you would need it. I have gotten a quote from some online company and it was £1700 a year which I cant afford at the minute, so I'll look...

It is made up from several discs cut out of sterling silver metal sheet. Each is hammered to give a concave effect and an...

This is what I'm trying to do.
My brother gave me a...
