Hi all, we have recently had 2 enquiries for commissions that feature enamelling - this isn't something we've done before, so need to locate & get in touch with someone, does anyone have any...
Thanks for the reply - I've heard that Flux should not be used?
Hi all, I have taken a commission for a gents wedding band, with a low bezel setting for the customer's own diamond to be set in - the only problem is I've not heard good things about soldering...
This was where the bust came in - I used the shoulder to create the curves, & it was great it didn't take long at all
Hi SusieQ, I used 3mm round for the Charity one, & 6mm wide D-wire. Thanks for the lovely comments :o
Ah, thank you all - I'm pleased with it, I just wish I could find time to make more. I made this one for a charity ball, but it's not as nice...77387739
Hi all,
This was commissioned by a customer who wanted a neckpiece making with her own stones - Amethysts. I bought a steel bust to help with the making, so I need to make more now to justify...
Thank you, we had a look on this site earlier, it may be the only option. I thought they would be pretty easy to come by on eBay, but apparently not!
Hi all,
Does anyone know where we could obtain some sleeves similar to those supplied by the GIA etc?
We want to be able to pop our valuations in something other than an envelope, & these...
Very, very nice!
Thanks for the advice - I replaced both ends, & am keeping my fingers crossed that it will hold out!
I think it's both - the slot looks worn, & we have replaced the tongue but it's still not holding the spring. She says she has always had the same issue, even when she was having it repaired by a...
Thanks Dennis, but unfortunately we have done this a few times, & the customer isn't happy that she has to keep coming back to have it tightened when it only lasts a couple of weeks... I need to come...
Hi all, I have a customer's hinged bangle that keeps coming coming back -

we have repaired the (traditional) "tongue" style catch a couple of times, & it's just not holding - it is 9ct...
Thanks everyone! It's great to get such a range of feedback, & I think I will have to go down the Cooksons Value route for now, then move on to the Durston. I'll be mostly using it when melting...
Hi, not sure if I've chosen the correct section to post, but here goes;
I'm extending the workshop & need a cheap (but good!) rolling mill - any recommendations please?
Many thanks
Jo
That sounds like a nightmare - I'm sorry it didn't work out, & hopefully it hasn't completely put you off?
Hi Babette!
Why Patstone - what happened?
Hi Emily, I'm in Burbage - between Coventry & Leicester. It was a huge leap as my children are only 2 & 4, but the rent is low & we just had to go for it. I'll see if I can attach some pictures... ...
Hi Peter, I make a bit of everything, from wedding & engagement rings to bespoke designs back to traditional - I recently made at 18ct yellow gold "Dearest" ring!

Hi all, I'm Jo, & I've recently (05/10/10) opened a small jewellery shop in Leicestershire.
It's going well so far, lots to do, and with 2 small children it's difficult as I can only be open 3...
