Pearl or otherwise?

Seriously though, my sister designs Jewellery, so what sort of thing are you after. She mainly does silver stuff, and mainly in a Goth type style, but I can ask her if she can/will do other types?

Cheers
Andy

The jewelery quarer of birmingham has a jewelery school and dozens of independany jewelers who make their own things. I am sure any one of these would make what you want. I am told that their prices are quite reasonable (as jewelery goes)

Theres a silver smith in Kings Lynn who makes all custom stuff.

His name is David Auker, though I am not sure if he has a website. We got my sister some custom jewellery from him for her 18th birthday. Its not cheap, but stunning!

There's a lot of it about!

My sister's a qualified jewellery designer too!
She does lots of private work aswell as supplying the top jewellery store in Guildford.

Conrod, give us a yell if it's any use to you.

Old fashioned way - hit it hard using a chisel, the skill of knowing exactly where, what angle and how hard is expensive to learn

Now they use a saw (steel saw, lubricated with oil and diamond dust).
