That may or may not be a made up patent number. I did a google search on patent numbers and if you enter the full the full patent number there's nothing. If you eliminate the last few numbers one at a time you'll turn up patents for a doll (1920), a clothing design (1872), and a teapot looking...

Oh, gotcha, thanks for clearing that up. While I do like visiting other member's sites, I prefer how things are done right now

It was a fairly recent abalone thread started by a guy named antz. I think it's still on the first page of the Natural Pearls section. He was selling his collection.

I could swear the same thing happened in a thread from the Natural Pearls section about abalone pearls.

I like the 22k beads too. They look smaller but also like they're higher quality. THe 18k ones remind me of gold plated beads I've seen.

Thank you everyone for your input. I hadn't considered boxes before (I'm not exactly high volume) but I've decided to go with a mixed order of folders and boxes from Novel Box. Noble looks good as well and I might order from them when I'm back in school in January in Edinburgh. Thanks!

I've been looking at a few pearl folder sites online and I was wondering if anyone had experience with either Novel Box or Jewelry Supply? I'm leaning towards Novel Box since they're wholesale but I've never ordered from them so I don't know if I should just put in a small initial order or...

I have nothing useful to say, just that I'm really excited about this :D

I bought a strand of Cortez a few weeks ago from druzy on eBay and they're fantastic, not to mention the customer service was good. She was really wonderful and patient too with all of my questions.

I've only been able to find sterling silver and vermeil french wire from Fire Mountain Gems. They have good customer service but avoid their gem strands, they're not very high quality and they're retail. http://www.firemountaingems.com/search.asp?skw=vermeil+french+wire...

An even 100 from me

I'm going with 120. The colors are gorgeous.

Well my first class I'd say we saw a lot, but didn't do much. I'd started a silversmithing course once before anad we went over the same basics in the first class a couple of weeks ago that I was taught at the beginning of my old course. The brass was just for practice but I made a little hill...

I've just gotten back from my second class, it's been so much fun! Our teacher's great and there's only about 8 students so we end up with a lot of one on one time. The first class was mostly demonstrations (sawing, soldering, filing, hammering, etc.) and we all got a little piece of brass to...

This is a great idea! I'd be interested too.
