Well, no. Personally I thought stainless steel is quite rare in the
jewellry applications, though I realise that depends on what *type* of
shops one uses

This I had noticed OTOH when dropped on a tile floor, it doesn't break
into two pieces like my jade one did

no


HTH

 

Eh? It's still gold, you know, and the whole reason why gold has been
used in jewelery and cions for thousands of years is that it doesn't
tarnish.

So no, it doesn't.

Aye. My wedding ring is Vicorian and is just as shiny as the day it
was made. It's a little badgered, but they all do that, sir.

Very true. I'd quite like Tungsten Carbide, but the prices are scary.

 

I am confident (it's what I did for 5 years), gifts with a declared
value over £36 are subject to VAT and Duty.

Gifts under that value however.

Oh and FFS, if anyone does have a mate in a non eu country do the same,
make sure they send the receipt in the normal post!

 

Indeed. Piercings were not part of my lifesyle or that of my social
gorup, except ears.

that an awful lot of people are reactive to.

 

I hope not!

Nope, that's not what's normally referred to as white gold. It's
perhaps a cheap way of mimickin it, but pretty pointless, I'd have
thought.

Proper white gold is, err, gold, with not very much yellow colour.

 

Actually it's gold/platinum alloy..

I've just remembered, I've got this book

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0091864453/ref=sr_aps_books_1_1/026-4712190-2198842

somewhere at home. I'll have a read over the weekend. ...

What about white gold? It's a lot cheaper than platinum.

Hows about "Vene Vidi Velcro"

Not that keen on it myself. I just like the look of Platinum.

I got Beckys engagement ring in white gold instead of platinum, mainly so I
could spend more on the stone.

I've only just seen this.

How about "Ursus non est, vagina"?

The effect I'm after here, BTW, is:

"I'm not Bear, you ****".

 

Of the precious metals I actually prefer the look of silver. Of course,
tarnishing is a bit of a problem.

One advantage, though, is that you can buy much bigger pieces. My
favourite jewlers in Cheltenham has some fabulous pieces. All my neices
have had jewelry for their 18th birthday presents from there.

The first one got platinum. The second was gold, but she got more of it.
The third got silver but it was a rather impressive - and quite heavy -
necklace. (She's the only one of the three who would wear that sort of
thing, though.)
