opal triplet ring resized by
digicath
Hope you can advise me!
I took my opal triplet ring to a jeweler to have resized. When I got
it back, there was a white mark across the stone; damage had been done
during the process. The store owner looked at it and said he would
either repair or replace it.
I called them about a week after to ask...

Electrofoming by
Don Wagner
I would like some advice on electroforming. There is a lot of information
available, to the point that I am suffering from info overload - I just want
to keep it simple, and find a good technique (or a book to buy) and good
proprietary solutions that will get the job done, and avoid hours...

Looking for rhodium electroplater in San Diego by

Hi, I'm looking for someone that does rhodium electroplating in
San Diego. My wife's rings are white gold and she has developed
an allergy to the nickel in them. I'd like to have them (re)plated
with a pore-free layer of rhodium. The local jewelers don't seem
to think the rhodium plating they do...

De-Ox ster casting problem by

Has anyone out there found a cure for rings cracking at the sprue when using
the De-ox sterling silver alloys.
I found a piece of info on the United Metals website that suggested a
"lighter" investment mix as it would be "not" as strong as the mud I usually
mix.
I like the de-ox for its anti...

hardness of metals by
m4816k
On one site on the net, I've found informations about hardness of metals.
And it says that 14 K gold is about 2,5 times harder than sterling silver.
Does that mean that a 14 K gold, 5 gram chain has the same hardness
(strenght), as 12-13 gram sterling silver one, of the same design and...

What would happend... by
m4816k
....if I would take my 14K gold jewellery, together with my 24K gold coins to
jewellers, and say that I'd like him to mix those two to make a single piece
of jewellery? Mathematically, from mixing 14 and 24K in the right ratio, you
can (for example) get 18K gold. But, how smart is to ask jeweller...

Mercury Amalgam Gilding by
Don Wagner
Another little project that I always wanted to pursue. I had an old "how
to" formula book that said to make a mercury copper amalgam, spatula it over
holes in old copper cookware, and then just let it set up overnight to
effect a permanent repair. It seemed absurdly simple.
Would it be possible...

Partial Plating by

I have been trying to talk a friend into doing a partial plating job for me.
He refuses, saying that the masking material contaminates his plating
solutions. He prefers to plate the whole object, and then buff the plating
off of the areas to be left unplated.
Is he using the wrong material as a...
