ivory? by
BettyPego
Sometime, in the 70s, when I visited my son at Berkeley, I purchased a little
carved ivory pendant in SanFrancisco's China Town.
Is it legal to sell this on eBay (or any place).
If it is, what can I do with it, except give it away?
For those who remember me, a fat old woman, at 77 I had my first...

Oxidising and Stones by
Charlie
I'd like to oxidise a bracelet in liver of sulphur, but it had rose quartz
included in the design. Will the solution destroy the stones? What about
others? Are any safe to be treated in this way?
Charlie.

Natural Gas/Air Torch a good choice? by
Mark Gifford
Hi there!
My wife and I are setting up a small jewelry shop in her new art
studio. We've had the plumber install a NG connection to enable us to
hook up a torch.
I did a lot of jewelry in High School, and we always used NG and a
compressor hooked up to regular air. Is this still a good choice...

Q: Casting Palladium ? by
Christopher Robert Carlson
Hello,
I have a couple who would like to consider cast palladium wedding rings
instead
of cast platinum. They are primarily attracted to the unusualness of the metal
and I
am sure the lower price and density are a nice bonus.
I have not worked with palladium before, and I have a few questions...
