Hi

I'm Dave, I am 52 years old and make jewellery mostly in Sterling or fine silver.

I've been setting stones and making my own stuff for 6 years, I trained in precious stone setting at the School of Jewellery in Hockley (Right opposite Cooksons in Birmingham)

I make pendants, earrings and rings, though I have also dabbled in fused link chains, granulation, loop in loop chains, jump ring chains, hinged boxes, handmade catches enameling, and lost wax casting - I'll have a go at most things.

My 'day job' is computer programming, and I'm also a keen amateur photographer, which comes in handy for photographing my work.

Hello Dave, and welcome from me too.

You sound like you might just have a mine of information for us to plunder!
