9ct red gold bezel strip

[enigma]

Cookson's are very interested, as I understand Dennis.


I would offer the same, but feel any loss would be a nightmare too.

Thanks for enquiring Wallace, I may have to give them a call then

I'm nowhere near Gateshead unfortunately, hopefully someone will be local to you and in a position to help!!

I called Cooksons today but they said it would have to be a minimum quantity of 50 grammes
Im considering buying a rolling mill but seems a lot of money for the rare occasions I would need it.
How to make a rose gold bezel for a 3mm heart though with 0.5mm ?

Oh, how saddened I feel, I had more faith than that! Shocked, in fact!

On the one hand, I'd say don't use 9k for bezels; it's horrible stuff to work with.
On the other, I have a rolling mill and can roll some down for you - depends on whether it makes sense shipping it back & forth.

Hello,
We have worked out in order to cover manufacturing cost you would need to purchase 40 pieces this would cost approx £597.55 plus Vat. Why dont you invest in a cooksongold value rolling mill? Then you could roll sheet for your bezels and have the mill for other jobs too! Best wishes Kate

Peter thats really very kind thank you!
What would you use, 18ct? nobody seems to have that in 0.3mm either

[enigma]

Cross posted Kate, Im definitely considering it

Definitely. Much easier to work, much easier to set - there's much less spring back for one thing.
Not having the right size is not something I have a problem with; I needed some 0.25mm 14k wire the other day, so drew it down.

Thanks Peter, does the spring back apply to 9ct versus 18 ct yellow too ? as I find the 9ct yellow quite tricky with that but haven't tried 18ct.
