How to cast with alginate? by \Alex Bobotek
I'm having trouble casting reduced-size objects using alginate. The object is to make a pair of earrings about 2/3 the size of a pendant that I made a rubber mold from. I have made alginate miniatures by troweling wet alginate in the mold, removing it once it gels, and letting it dry to shrink. ...

High Mercury Content in Silver Bracelet by KJ

Moderators announcement by Peter W. Rowe
Hi All, Happy Holidays. I trust those of you, like me, who've been going nuts playing "santa's elf", or otherwise serving the public's jewelry needs, now get a well deserved rest and holiday. Judging by the low volume of messages this last week, I'd guess I'm not the only one of you who's been...

good vs bad white gold by HurricaneMB

Cup Burr by Charlie
Can anyone tell me where I can get a cup burr in the UK? It's for finishing the ends of ear wires and similar. I've only found one as part of a large set and I can't really afford to pay more than is necessary! Many thanks, Charlie. ---
