How do you buff out marks in sterling silver
I'm new to working with sterling silver wire, I typically use 1mm wire or smaller in my jewellery so very small dainty stuff, and I'm finding my pliers tend to leave behind a couple of small dents when bending/manipulating the metal. It's not a lot but really starts to get noticeable when you look closely or zoom in on pictures. I'm aiming to sell what I make eventually; how can I get rid of/avoid making these marks to produce the best quality jewellery I possibly can? Can they be buffed/polished out? If so, how do I do that because I usually finish my pieces in a tumbler. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Birdies In Tutus. I Love birds, they’re so quirky! I made these cloisonné enamel earrings using gold foils, fine silver wires, and vitreous enamel. I’d love comments or feedback.

Can 18k gold have different kind of yellows? I have two rings from the same jeweler made in different times. Both are 18k yellow gold but one is more pale than other. And can polishing change the yellow gold’s color? (He said that he can make it more brighter or paler yellow with polishing)

Best place for casting in Sydney Australia ?
Hi all I am a jewellery manufacture student in Sydney and I have a pile of wax rings I’d like to cast but don’t have the funds or wherewithal to set up a casting bay at home just yet. I was wondering what type of experiences everyone’s had in Sydney with different shops? I’ve been told some do a sand blast before giving them back and that I would prefer but I can’t remember who told me /where it was …. Thanks !

I made rainbow cluster earrings using red glass crystals and gemstone beads! 🌈
Hello, everyone! I recently hosted a giveaway on my Instagram page where I gave a pair of these rainbow earrings to winning participants.
I tried to use gemstones in all colors of the rainbow, some of which include citrine, peridot, blue apatite, green agate, and amethyst. I also used blue and pink rondelle glass crystals to supplement the piece and add a complementary pop of color! The earring was finished with a bright pink-red colored pear shaped crystal pendant.
Anyways, these earrings were fun to make, and I hope you all love this design! 🌈💕
