Polishing Silver by [email protected]
This is a dumb question, but I don't know much about metals. When sterling is cast -- say, a ring -- what color is it? Does it need polishing to become a shiny silver ring? Thanks, Nancy

Fine silver surface by [email protected]
I am going to be casting sterling silver rings for enameling. In doing the homework for this I have found a source from one book that says the surface of the model exits the cast with a layer of fine silver without copper. If this is true, it would eliminate the need of further preparation of the...

Soapstone by Jack Schmidling
Not exactly jewelery but perhaps someone here might have a clue on this. My wife bought a soap dish that is made out of "porous soapstone", the idea being that it absorbs the moisture from the soap and solves a problem as old as soap. I have a soapstone egg I bought crossing the equator in Africa...

Coin mounts? by Todd Rich
The lady that taught me enamelling is having a hard time finding coin mounts. She used to get them through Swest, but since Stuller bought them, she hasn't found a good source for them. She is looking for 1", and 1 1/2" coin mounts. Any suggestions for a good source for them? Todd

number of facets by m4816k
If I would like my diamond to show the same briliance and less fire (cause some tend to be a bit "too colorful"), I should choose: a) A stone that has less facets, since less facets generally means less briliance, therefore less fire? b) A stone with more facets, since more facets means smaller...

Working with Platinum? by Malcx
Hi, We're a small jewellers who only take on-line orders and everything is made by hand to order. We've had an enquiry through for one of our items made in platinum. Now, we only work with silver/gold and semi-precious stones at the moment and have no experience working in Platinum.
