Love it Dennis, such a strong design and the colours are electric. I used to find crimp cover were better to close with standard pliers but other...

Thanks Peter - I contacted Sam and her prices are very reasonable, so will be sending some stones to her.

It would have been wise to practise before wouldn't it?!! Not my style though sadly, I'm still not that wise. Thanks for the advice though guys,...

I confess to loving my Parker Lady pens. They have lovely gold nibs and fit my tiny hand perfectly. However, their small size means twice as much...

Well, I've had a look around, and it seems there are none in UK, at least. Cookson has ecosilver bullion, so you can make your own, which is super...
