Blimey Bosk, congratsydingding i bet your one of those guys that decides to go and buy a metal detector one day.................................. no no....credit where credits due, was probably down to that deducting mind of yours i bet mr Holmes
Wow, congratulations! Yes, Asians love their high fineness gold. Most American and UK gold. UK gold is surprising, since they are so fussy about silver. They won't accept silver that is 83.5%, saying it is white metal, but they will accept gold that is only(!) 37.5%.
Thanks-it was the easiest money I've made, and mercifully nobody had to die (inheritance). I suppose finding a penny in the gutter was quicker,but this was like buying a truck full of pennies for a buck,plus it weighed less. Jewelry People-I too now am in the thrall of the 'Precious'...course I'm still clueless-but motivated !
Thanks AJ-I've learned a lot from you all here.As far as your eye for particular stones, age of clasps,techniques,etc-I'm still a babe in the woods.
