[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 288358, member: 2976"] [i]Once i am good enough i would like to try my hand at selling jewelry made from local rocks and local gold.[/i] That idea really does it for me as well :) I love being the first person to see something tumble from it's millions of years old hiding place in the earth and then to work it to a finished gem, be it cabbed or faceted. To make jewellery from local materials - especially found by myself - is something I really want to start doing. I've only done a very small amount of setting but I have a mate who is a manufacturing jeweller who now only requires occasional use of his burnout kiln and casting centrifuge, so he's going to bring them out and put them in my workshop - be no stopping me then! :) [/QUOTE]
