Do All Items Come with a Hanging Loop | Jump Ring?
Unless bailed in casting (the mold has an attached bail or hidden bail), all Precious Metal Charms and Pendants come with a jump ring. Basemetal / Pewter items Do Not (if you need jumprings for these items, please see the jumprings section in the jewelery findings area). Jewelry Findings, jewelry making centerpieces, necklace & rosary y's, links, etc. also do not come with a jump ring. Custom-Cast Copper items come with Solid Copper Jumprings. Custom-Cast 14k White Gold items come with a Solid Sterling Silver Jumpring (the body of the piece is custom-cast in Solid 14k White Gold). Custom-Cast 14k Yellow Gold items come with a 14k-GF Jumpring (the body of the piece is custom-cast in Solid 14k Yellow Gold). If you'd like to order a bail, it can be found at the bottom of each page or in the jewelry findings section. If you'd like to purchase jump rings, click here to order.

What is Gold Filled?
A layer of 10kt (or better) Real Gold Bullion is mechanically bonded under heat and pressure to one or more surfaces of a supporting base metal, then rolled or drawn to a given thickness. In the jewelry industry, the quantity of Gold Must be at leas 1/20th by weight of the total product!!

What is PMC (Precious Metal Clay)?
Relatively new to the USA & jewelry media, PMC is made of finely powdered Pure Silver, water, and binders. When heated to 800-850 degrees C. the organic binders burn off... leaving Pure 999 Silver!
top

What is Niobium?
Relatively new to the USA & jewelry media, Niobium (Nb) is a pure element & is known as a refractory metal. The colors result from a coating of oxide over the metal surface. The metal appears colored because the oxide coating is transparent, and causes interference in the light rays reflected from the metal... just like a prism. A similar effect can be seen in the colors on soap bubbles, butterfly wings, bird feathers, and oil on water! Niobium is Hypo-Allergenic -- good for even the most sensitive skin -- and very light-weight. Niobium's name is derived from the Greek Goddess Niobe, daughter of Tantalus! Due to limited quantities geologists have found in the Earth's crust, this Beautiful Metal has a value Higher than Silver!

What is Dichroic Glass?
Dichroic Glass was created for use by NASA. The glass is coated with metal oxides such as magnesium, titanium and silicon in a vacuum furnace. Dichroic glass magically reflects multiple shades of color depending on the angle from which it is viewed! The word "Dichroic" means "two colors"-- referring to its transmitted color and reflected color. Dichroic coatings are high-tech optical coatings that selectively reflect away certain wavelengths (color) of light, and allow the remaining wavelengths to transmit through. This same effect is seen in nature (peacock feathers, opals, etc.). Dichroic is not inexpensive: it can run $100 to $200 per square foot!

Are All Your Items Quality Marked?
In the USA, The National Gold and Silver Marketing Act does NOT require precious metals to be marked with quality. For many reasons, not all jewelry items are marked. The size or design of some pieces do not lend themselves to quality marking. Findings and components are often not quality stamped leaving the assembler the choice of attaching a mark, perhaps on a jewelry card or chain tab, to the finished piece.
