    metalsmith ========[ Invite a Friend metalsmith - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ]======== Thanks metalsmith Jo, I will try that. I can't adjust the oxy/fuel ratio but what I do sometimes metalsmith if I want a more reducing flame is put a bit of heatresistant metal tape over two or three of the air holes at the bottom of the torch head, reducing the amount of air that gets into the mix. I'll also try using a lower flame and being a little slower about it and see if that helps. Ganoksin is wonderful, thank you all for participating

    ========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ]======== In the US you can find an accredited appraiser, essentially an appraiser that was trained in more than just gem id and grading. I would recommend the ASA http://www.ganoksin.com/gnkurl/ep80zz and the NAJA (National Association of Jewelry Appraisers) http://www.ganoksin.com/gnkurl/ep803i The NAJA has a great conference in Tucson directly before the AGTA show. They have jewelry north shore lij ess specific presenters. Worth every penny if you can participate. Even non appraiser learn. We try to cover multiple bases with our appraisal firm having NAJA, ASA and AGS trained appraisers. We stay with ASA and NAJA as they stick with appraising specifically. AGSis a great association, we did belong and were but a few of their ICGAs (Independent Certified Gemologist Appraisers) but they tend to gravitate moreto retail north shore lij ess ethics than appraisal standards. They do set the standard for retail ethics and I would hope they let me rejoin if I was to go back to retail (even after this post). But appraising is not always about delivering north shore lij ess complementary news. We inspect, We evaluatequality, workmanship and condition. We then research the appropriate market then assign a document-able and supportable opinion of value based on intended use, limiting conditions and a comparable market. An appraisal needs that methodological approach to hold up in court and be ethically viable. I think of jewelry appraisal as a 4 legged stool. Three may work but when the four legs are balanced they are very stable. Leg one: Gemology with an emphasis on grading, not just diamonds. Leg two: Jewelry manufacturing skills or a competentunderstanding of them. Again an emphasis on judging good (or bad) workmanship. Leg three: Valuation Principals, that is how to research and find an appropriate market and document your results. Essen

This type punch saved one from purchasing jewelry bench several sizes and thus allowed the farmer, rancher or hobbyist to save on tool costs.

    ========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ]======== Yes, demand Jo and of course supply. jefferson golden hour clock IMO good, antique china with a stamp on the back like "22 carat gold" will increase in value. The demand goes up and the supply goes down. There are big reference works in the library on what all those marks/signs mean on china. Few state "gold". But your comment on "heirloom jewelry" puzzles jefferson golden hour clock me. If the family is UK royalty and I get a deal on the HRM crown I will buy it and not crack out the stones or melt down the gold. But does this apply to antique/heirloom custom-made jewelry from ordinary folks? Will J Doe's custom made wedding ring be worth anything special to J Smith in 100 years?

But personally, I felt that my request fell upon > totally deaf ears. That might have been because he knows that there is no such thing as a certified appraiser. There is no single governmental or industry body that sets standards that an appraiser or an appraisal must meet. There is no licensing or certification process for either individuals or businesses. Even if someone wants to become the good life massapequa park "certified", there's nobody to get certified the good life massapequa park *by*. An insurance company or legal firm representing an estate might have their own minimum standards, but other than that, anybody that wants to can lawfully write appraisals. That's why the US government wrote a law that says using an insurance replacement appraisal as a sales tool or as a statement of actual value for the sale of jewelry by any person can be a form of consumer fraud and therefore can be a punishable crime. Claiming "certification" as an appraiser also constitutes consumer fraud. Because there is no such thing. Any more than there is a 'certified diamond setter' anywhere in the US. I've heard of people claiming that one too. "Our diamonds are cut and set only by certified cutters and setters..." Really? Certified by whom? Talk about whoppers people tell to make a sale. Next time someone asks, recommend an AGS (American Gemological Society) retail jewelry store or a NAJA (National Association of Jewelry Appraisers) member appraiser. These are two of several professional trade organizations that are dedicated to jewelry the good life massapequa park appraisal training.
