Safety Chain. by Alasdair Baxter
I am in England. I have a 9K (.375) gold tie clasp and I'd like to have a gold safety chain fitted to it. Is it better to drill a small hole in the clasp to hold the chain or to have a small loop soldered on to it? What kind of price am I looking at for this job? --

I have bought some earrings to re-sale and was told the stone in them is called a Gyrosol. I was later told they are Gyrosol quartz. Yet another supplier with what looked like the same earrings said they are an opalescent glass (this to me sounds like the most likely). Does anyone know if...
