When I was a kid, I used to open the family encyclopaedia at a random page and start reading, and then followed the references wherever it lead me.

Hi, I hope this post is not OT in this group; if it is, my apologies, and I'm sure Peter will remove it. I am having a debate with a friend of mine about the origins of a Buddha image that appears to be 15th. century Sri Lankan in style. We can safely assume lost-wax casting was the only method...

I have an occasional need to set stones other than in prongs and confess to not being confident with gravers for bead raising etc. Looking at GRS systems, anybody using the system 3 or have an opinion as to whether this will give me the control I crave to raise a bead or should I be looking at the...

Hey, all. I just bought a watch which purports to be made of titanium. It all looks legit, it's a Seiko, it has a serial number and a certificate with it - but this purchase was made via EBay, and I want to be *sure*... It certainly is lightweight. But how else can I establish for certain that...
