I'd like to continue with this post a little series called "Learn about the jewelry making", which I some time ago jewelry design on my own blog -verenabrack.blogspot.com have launched. Periodically, I try here my knowledge as a goldsmith with all interested parties to share jewelry. Be it the knowledge of precious stones, metals, machinery, or just the answer to the question: What exactly does the stamp on my ring? There are so many interesting things from the world of jewelry discovered. When you have some questions to a goldsmith, the you would like a reply, they simply leave at the end of this post in the comments, I will gladly answer it in one of the next posts for you.
And now to today's question:
