reasonably workable substitutes like what was known as 'German silver'

Value of Rubies per karat by
TXZZ
YEah, I know this is a loaded question
Yes, I know that like all gems, karat value increases exponentially
with the size of the ruby, because large gems are the rarest
Yes, I know color and clarity etc. are important
Still, is there a basic table showing what the value of a ruby per
karat is?

Cutting jump rings by
McQ Designs
Hello. I have a Pepe jump ring cutting jig but my blades keep
overheating when I try to cut a coil of silver wire. I use cutting
wax. Am I missing something here?

Math by
Limpy[_2_]
I know there's a way to do this, but I can't remember how.
I have x dwt's of sterling silver.
I want to know how much that weight of sterling will weigh in 14, 18k.
The obvious answer ain't the one I want. ;-)

Finding motivation. by
Dale Porter
It's interesting how the mind works and thoughts appear randomly.
I've had a major upheaval in my life at the start of this year, and ever since I
have lacked any desire to get back on the
workbench. I have a couple of clients that would like me to do some work for
them, and there's a shop near...

Is this really gold? by
Ignoramus27199
I was given a gold chain as a birthday gift. It was nice looking and
glittery in the beginning (circa march 15). After I wore it
continuously, for 2 months, it has substantially changed. Around the
edges where it rubbed clothes, it looks more coppery, and it generally
"faded". It is no longer...

Why did it melt? by
Charlie
I was trying to solder some silver (1mm I think) wire to itself in a simple
filigree type thing using hard solder. I followed all the instructions in
my book yet the wire melted before the solder. I'm using a small butane
hand torch, would that make a difference? If so, I'm going to have to...

Diamond saw lubricant - UK by

Hi all
I wonder if some kind soul could point me to a supplier of
cutting oil for use with a small (6") diamond lapidary saw.
One of the larger suppliers lists it in the catalogue - but won't
post it - wonder if it's the kind of thing that a local engineering
supplies place might carry. The stuff...
