The gold should be perfectly durable for wear, as it's applied to statues that are outdoors and chatsworth house has gold leaf window frames as it is more durable than paint.
I would use gold...
Faith I had exactly the same problems as you with bezels and as I like to pierce the back a really flush fit is essential.

I saw a young lady at art in action using 6mm rod to make chain links.. I was particularly impressed as she was petite to say the least..
I can't imagine a 6mm ring on a finger unless it was a...
Hi David I have lol. Unfortunately most of the chains that have been in stock are too fancy or too big 😮

I use a £1 flexible neck lighter I got in tesco. Keep the gas low and light your lighter below the nozzle and bring it up in to the gas.
I find with mine sometimes the gas burns away from the...
Hi all, I'm having a dilemma.
I have been asked to make some statement earrings for a customer using pearls and rose gold plated silver and I happily said yes thinking it was no problem..

Alexandrite is my favorite gem so I am just a little envious you bought and kept three!
The earring is very covetable too..

That's a nice piece of ammolite. As Dennis said it's most prized form can be too jarring for some eyes. Its often fairly expensive and I worry about getting a buyer for it too..
My understanding...

Brilliant chart and answers a lot of confusing questions for me too! I was wondering what the optimum packet size was too.. If you don't make much stock in a month it's more likely you have to send...

Assaying a piece is only certifying what it is made of. If you recycle scrap gold and offer it for general sale you have to mark it over minimum weight to sell it as gold.
There is no legal...
It depends how you are intending using the diamonds, but my initial thought would be to use a featherweight headpin through the middle, then using either the tip of round nose pliers or a small drill...
If you know the provenance of the metal and you are having it remodelled for your own use you are less likely to want a piece hallmarked.. Especially if it is charged for in addition to the work.
