Sounds like it may a costume piece plated with a Onyx cz, 395 is most likely a model number if this is the case the pickle may have removed the...

The last details were what I came up with on my search George but as it was described as an Onyx ring I wondered how that could be

i didn't realize i said BG&& co i meant V G & co and there a crown i think it is and 375 cz

Yes, they are beautiful, but too labour intensive. As Deb has said, you could get them mass produced by a laser cutting service and the jump ring...

B G and Co (in an oval) would normally be Bitton Gould, and if in a quatrefoil, it would be Boardman Glossop, both of whom were silversmiths. Are you...

If I were making them I'd get them cut, give them a quick rub either side on micro mesh sheets, get the soldering done and then thread as many as I...

That is not a hallmark but a makers mark and I’m not sure what 795 stands for I can’t seem to find anything. It may have taken a first polish and as...

the hallmark says BG&co 795 cz it was fine i polished it up nice untill i had to solder it then pickle it now it does seem like a rose gold colour no...

Oh forgot to add I am using sterling silver for the charms.

If you'd like to post a pic of the setting I could perhaps advise further.

What about a prong mount? I've made a few of those for odd shaped stones (meteorite for a male friend)

Thank you - I will give this a try too.

Thank you so much for your advice - sorry taken me so long to get back to the Forum. So very appreciated

Tbh if I’ve seen men wearing pendants at all they are very short and worn tight round their necks as more of a choker than a pendant, that doesn’t...

..or if she has a favourite ring she could send it to you and you could work out the size by placing it on your ring mandrel.

Me too. :-( In my head they would have been the kinds of pendants that you wear outside your t-shirt or whatever you are wearing. Is there a...

Alternatively, unless you can identify the assay office it could be just the makers mark and turn out to be plated. Dennis.

From memory, the anti tarnish bath requires expensive equipment and is only appropriate for large volume output. Anti tarnish strips, or tabs,...

Very nice! You'll find that whatever pickle you use if you're using brass you'll get that copper layer on the top after pickling. I use a small round...

I assume it is recycled if it is already hallmarked and you have modified it ? is there a possibility that it is rose Gold

ye the ring is british hallmarked.9ct plain onyx ring ive tried to buff the copper colour off but it seems to be right through im using powder pickle...

I’m assuming that STD doesn’t stand for what came up when I searched so sorry I’m being a big dim! The number on the nozzle I use is 3940 but not...

Hi Billy, you cant really ruin gold by soldering and pickling. Is it new gold from a reputable dealer or re-cycled from something old? If...
