We inherited a beautiful gold cross with seven large diamonds. The
piece is about 150 years old and, when shown to a local jewelry
artisan, they said it was a very special piece and worth more than we
probably thought. They have an appraiser come in every few weeks and
they scheduled this...

reticulation questions by
C Ryman
Happy Holidays everyone,
I'm playing with reticulation this weekend. Pretty easy so far.
Can I tumble polish reticulated silver (22 g) with steel shot or will that
take off the layer of fine silver on the surface?
Does brass reticulate well? It seems to me like it would since it has
copper in...

Mold question; bubbles in poured wax pattern? by
Rich
Good evening to all, and I hope that you had a great Christmas.
As a hobby, I'd been doing centrifugal casting for a while, but I left the
hobby for a few years and I'm now trying to re-enter it.

had a very difficult time...

What does "not set in place" mean for rings? by
Korben Dallas
They'll say pearls "not set in place" Does it mean they will fall out? Or
do they wobble around? Does not set in place mean it's bad and needs to be
fixed by a jeweler or is it a feature?
Sometimes it also says "floating" -- Does this mean the same thing or
something different and if different,...

Rhodium Plating to improve setting by
Ronald
Hello all,
Here's another crazy question. I just talked to a jeweler who tells me
a solid 14k gold ring has some rhodium plating at the diamond area to
improve upon the setting strength. In other words, he says the rhodium
helps keep the diamonds secure.
This is a mens channel set diamond...

What welder? by

I'm considering buying a pulse arc welder and have seen ads for two: the
Lampert PUK2 and the ABI Tack II. I've tried the PUK2 at a tool dealers
here in the UK, and it seemed to work OK, giving results similar in some
respects to a laser welder. I've read various articles where a Tack II
