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...

know if it was "real". On first inspection it appears to be links of yellow
and white gold joined by links with nearly opaque blue facetted stones in
yellow gold. It seems solidly made and looks good for having been...

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?

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.

Soldering Bronze by
Rob Jupp
Hello,
Can anyone help?
Is there a solder that is suitable for tin bronze (approx. 87 Cu : 13 Sn)
that gives a reasonable color match?
If so, what is the composition of the solder?
Thanks in anticipation.
