now that is skill i recently becam a goldsmith apprentice and broke 3 saw blades on my first day how does he do that !!! i wish i could cut it that quickly
re: "If jewellery supposedly made of any precious metal has no stamp or mark. . ." Some artists simply do not mark their work. Also, there are some highly respected artists that do not mark their work "sterling/925" but do sign it. Amy Quandalacy is one. Her work is simply marked "Amy".
Hi , good information , but a little bit "on the run" :-)) I like to see more close-ups ( I am using a Sony D8 camera ,with great performances and I love to show the details, even the solder flowing...) Good job , without annoying "bla, bla, bla " ...
sorry for bothering again, do you happen to know a reliable method of distinguishing silver plated from solid silver items at first glance, without having to cut the item?
if the jewellery is stamped ".925" or just "925" it means that the piece is definitely solid sterling (this means it's 925/1000 parts solid silver). If jewellery supposedly made of any precious metal has no stamp or mark (this goes for silver, gold, platinum) then the source is unreliable and you should def stay away from buying it.
Wrong, pieces UNDER a certain weight do not have to be hallmarked or stamped with anything whatsoever so please do not give out advice that could potentially damage small businesses.
Great job Jesse...think your bench is a little too neat...needs a bit more chaos going on... :) love the music with it.

Where can I get one of those long conical metal ring forms? My socket wrench heads are tired of being used to forge rings.

Any jewellery supply store. It's called a mandrel. You can also get them in smaller sizes if you'd like to make your own chains.
