SOME INTERESTING THINGS FOR JEWELERY AND CRAFT PEOPLE!

I was just surfing around and found some things of interest to those who are interested in buying and/or selling jewelry and for those who are into crafts!

First, we all have had problems with the metal on our jewelry rubbing or fading away! Expensive machines are the cure, this we know, but is there another solution? One that is affordable and that we can do at home ourselves?

More Repairs

These are a few more repairs that I did...The first bracelet just needed reconnecting and stone replacements...
This next one was much more complicated. The bracelets from the 1930-1940's often had a slide clasp on them and the part of the slider is always the part to get broken in half. Rarely is this a simple repair because everything must be matched up perfectly. Often it involves reattaching the female end to the bracelet further out towards the male end. This is a before shot:



I had to solder the new clasp on to the hinge pin so that it would still be able to rotate ...



This bracelet was also full of tiny rhinestones that are held in with a very small metal prong thast is not visible without a magnifier. In order to replace those stones it is necessary to get under the metal piece with a raor blade and lift it to release the old stone. Clean the setting from any dirt aquired then slip the new stone back under the prong and push down in place. This one had many black stones!
