38-27 Clemson
So you do lost wax casting and you do the carvings as well? Red or green wax? You do centrifical or vacuum lost wax casting, or a combo of both?
I went to jeweler's school in Sebring, FL decades ago and learned, but never really put it to practical use.
I've been looking for someone who is good at it though, someone who might be interested in filling a niche market I know of with a big need.
I thought 18 carat was the softest you could go on a ring?

Hey scrooster. Got your score.
I use green, purple and blue. Depends on the details I’m putting into the project. I use centrifugal. Works good but a pain. The spring tension is really tight. Had to build a very heavy mount to keep it from moving at all when I release the pin. Il be using a coin for this project. It’s 21.7 Kt. Gonna add some 14 Kt to the smelter to give the ring strength.
So it will work out to be around 18-Kt. I could use a straight 18kt to start with, but the history of the gold in the ring makes it special if the winner is into history like myself. I’d like to hear about the niche market your talking about. Thanks Brent. ( the USC )
