Tambour beading by Daisy
I am seeking a tambour shuttle (aka tambour hook) - can someone on this group direct me to a mail-order source that ships internationally please? I am also trying to obtain a book with specific tambour beading work as part of its contacts. I'd be grateful for any help. Cheers

gold modelling compound by puk

English hallmarks by Tobor
I have recently become interested in collecting 9ct gold charms that bear an English (or UK) hallmark. Problem is many items described as hallmarked are just stamped "9ct" or "375", with no maker or assay office mark present. Would I be right in thinking that these items were not stamped by the...

[ADVERT] FS: Lapidary Journal OOP mags by Karleen/Vibrant Jewels
Hope this post isn't out of order, if it is I apologize in advance. This week, in addition to beads and kits, we are offering several Out of Print Lapidary Journals for auction. I tried to make the descriptions as full as possible, as hubby did not feel like doing scans today. Perhaps he will...

Who has the right to know? by Ted Frater
I woke this morning with the above title in my head. So I asked myself the question? why is it that this trade is accused of being reluctant to divulge its knowhow? particularly on this newsgroup and I include myself in this when other skills like those recently mentioned here, for example beer,...

newbie question by Harlett O'Dowd
I've been doing some 1920s research and came across a mention of a piece of jewely called a "love altar." I assume this is some kind of necklace. Does anyone here have more information on what this may or may not be? Are there any books out there with pictures where I could get a better idea...

Eurika Moment by Jack Schmidling
Maybe "duh" is a more appropriate subject. I started on another chain after making some mods to my homemade rolling mill and found that changing the sequence made things a lot easier. I had been rolling the wire, soldering jump rings, pickling, tumbling, stretching into loops and weaving...

specific finish questions by m4816k
I saw a finish that seems really nice, but don't know much about it, so would have some questions. Some call it diamond cut finish, some laser cut finish, diamond laser, double diamond cut, textured diamond cut... It's that rough, sparkling, textured finish that's (I think) done by hammering...

I found a website that sells swarvorstika crystals at a really good price. Yet, I am hesitant to order because they don't list where they are located .....no personal information whatsoever except a phone number to place an order (and ask for the bead guy) What do you think about placing an order...

Pyramid Bead Cap by Charlie
I've got these beautiful lampwork beads sitting here, but the only problem is they're cubes. I thought it would be quite cool to wire them with a cap above and below except for the obvious problem that they're square, and not the more usual round. so I think to myself I'll make them, then they'll...
