What
is Sterling Silver? Sterling Silver is 92.5% Pure Silver.
The other 7.5% is a hardening agent which is usually copper or sometimes
zinc. Top
What
is Fine Silver? Fine silver is 99.9% Pure Silver, with no other
metals. Top
What
is Nickel Silver or German Silver? Nickel/German Silver is the generic name for
any of a range of Non-Precious bright silver-grey alloys composed of
copper, nickel and zinc.
Don't Be Fooled!! - Despite its name, It contains NO
Real Silver!
Other names for Nickle or German Silver are: Nikel Silver, Nickle Silver,
"Silver", Afghan Silver, Austrian Silver, Brazilian Silver, Mexican
Silver, Nevada Silver, Potosi Silver, Silverite, Sonara Silver, Tyrol
Silver, Venetian Silver.
Please remember, NONE contain Real Silver. Top
What
is Vermeil? Process developed in France in the mid-1700s.
France banned production of vermeil early in the 19th century because
the process involved the use of mercury. Present-day vermeil is 22k
Gold over Sterling Silver produced by a safe electrolytic process. Top
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!! Our Items which contain Gold Filled
rings (chain-maille jewelry)
are 14kGF (higher than industry standard) and are considered LIFE-TIME
PRODUCTS, and the Gold layer WILL NOT Wear Off, as it will in electro-plated
products! top
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! top
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! top
What
Does Custom-Cast Mean? It mean's it's Custom Cast just
for you upon ordering.
14k Gold, Copper & U-Prefix & non-prefix items of over 10 per
quantity are considered custom-cast.
These are non-cancelable, non-refundable, non-returnable items &
take 4-6 weeks before shipment.

U.S. OWNED & OPERATED MOM & POP BUSINESS!!!
How We Make Our Stuff : The Lost-Wax Casting Process
U & H prefixed items are only available in Solid Sterling Silver
(e.g., U1007, H1023).
The 'H' Series is being phased out.
F-prefixed items means "Found" - Generally once they are Sold
Out, They're Gone (e.g., F1136) unless we can find them again.
SPC-prefixed items means "Special Purchase" - Once these items
are Sold Out, They're Gone!
B-prefixed items means "Base Metal" (non-precious materials
are used - e.g., Nickle or No-Lead Pewter - e.g., B1003).
Generally once these items are Sold Out, They're Gone!
We are slowly converting Base Metal 'F' series numbers to 'B' series
numbers. top

Are
All Your Items 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 is 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.
