Silver And Gold Jewelry

Silver Artist... by Bayani Artist

How to Get Started Making Silver and Gold Jewelry for Profit or Fun.

Author: KDL Jewelry

 

Jewelry making has long been an art form passed on from father to son, all the way back to ancient times; people have adorned themselves in Silver, Gold, and Gemstone Jewelry,

African tribes, the Native American Indian tribes and numerous ethnic tribes have used Bone carved pendants, Animal Ivory, Bird feathers and Seashells, to fashion accessories to use as jewelry.

Today we give our Jewelry titles ,such as Ethnic Jewelry ,Tribal Jewelry ,Antique Jewelry, Fashion Jewelry and so on .In this article we are going to Talk about Designer Hand made jewelry ,How to make it either for fun or for those really keen students how to do it and make money from your hobby .

Right lets get going .You have two options to start with, you can either buy raw silver from your local distributor, or find a Jewelry Manufacture that will supply you with the materials, there is a choice between 925 or 985 in the grade of silver you buy, I prefer to work in Fine silver 985, but you may find this a little difficult to buy. For the purpose of this article we are going to choose the second option and buy our material from a reputable Jewelry Manufacture and we are going to start with making a simple Sterling silver 925 pendant with a Turquoise cabochon Gemstone.

The majority of tools needed can be purchased form a good hardware store and some of the more hard to find items you will be able to get from either a Silver Jewelry Manufacture or Supplier.

Your heat source can be either a gas bottle with extension hose and flame adjusting nozzle or as we use in our workshop a petrol bellows and hose set with adjustable nozzle, its important witch ever set you buy that you can regulate the flame and heat .Next comes the hand tools you will need a small brass hammer, tweezers about 7inches long, small tin snips, brass block 4inches by 4inches and 1inch thick ,rags,2part epoxy, battery acid, fine grade file , a flexible shaft grinder and a ceramic base to heat your silver on ,here is a handy tip a house brick and unglazed roof tile work just great. That should be enough for you to get started.

Step1 is to cut a strip of silver slightly wider then the thickness of the turquoise and long enough to wrap around the diameter of the gemstone, and carefully cut it so as the 2 ends meet tightly around the gemstone.

Step2, take your solder and place a small amount of flux on the two joins, heat the silver strip till red, apply the solder carefully, and it’s joined. If you haven’t done any soldering before try a few practice runs first, you will be able to use that silver later on.

Step3, take your sterling silver band and place it on a flat piece of silver plate, check that the turquoise still fits, then as in step 2 apply flux and solder the band to the plate.

Step4, remove the excess silver with your tin snips and sand off any rough edges.

Step5,decide on a shape for your bail and cut it out of silver accordingly, bend into shape .now solder that to the pendant ,and while hot dip the whole pendant into a small jar of acid ,rinse in a jar of clear water and dry.

Step6, Place your turquoise into you silver and carefully trim away any surplus silver. Once your happy with the fit you can sand the silver again with fine grade emery paper, give a small amount of epoxy to the inside of the pendant and insert the turquoise stone .Now take a spoon and using the back work it around the pendant to give a snug fit with the silver and allow to dry.

Step7, Using your flexi grinder insert a polishing cloth disc, add some silver polish and buff the silver to the required finish.

The principles above are applied to all silver work; no it’s up to the imagination of the jewelry designer and skillfulness of the jeweler.

Wholesale sterling silver jewelry Insider Secrets

Author: Greg Peterson

Have you seen similar silver jewelry sold at price difference of two to three times from different retailers? Have you ever wondered how retailers mark up the jewelry after they get them from the venders? Here we will show you the wholesale trading secrets of sterling silver jewelry.

Price per gram
The most important piece of information for determining the price of a piece of sterling silver jewelry is the price per gram of the silver. This is the fundamental raw material cost of a piece of sterling silver jewelry due to the fact that silver is considered a precious metal. For instance, the price for silver is $9.5 per ounce, the price per gram is determined by dividing the price per ounce by 31.5, which is 30 cents. Therefore, the cost for the raw material for a 5 gram wedding band ring is roughly $1.5. Some might wonder why people would pay $30 for a silver wedding ring when the silver only cost $1.5. The followings will explain the difference.

Labor cost
To turn raw material into finished goods, it involves a great deal of processing cost. The metal itself has to be melted, molded and cast, polished and assembled. Most of the times, silver jewelry is accented with various stones, the costs for setting the stones are also a major part of the total cost for jewelry, especially for jewelry that requires high level of craftsmanship.

Other materials
Also, the costs for any additional material are added to the jewelry. For instance, a pair silver pearl dangle earrings that has two cultural fresh water pearls with rhodium finish should cost double the price of the silver to make because of the cost of the pearl and rhodium. Note that rhodium is even more expensive than silver itself and it is high tarnish resistant.

Shipping cost
Many styles of jewelry are imported from other countries because of difference in availability of raw materials such as stones and also the specialties in making some particular styles. Hence the shipping cost of transporting is also part of the cost. Usually, for imported sterling silver jewelry, the shipping cost can amount to 10% of what it costs to make the jewelry themselves.

Custom Duties
For the same reasons, imported jewelry incurs duties at the custom. This is a cost that normal consumers are not aware of but it can also increase the price of sterling silver jewelry for 5% to 10%.

Price fluctuations
Some sterling silver jewelry trader, especially wholesaler would associate the price of the jewelry with the current silver price. Therefore, the price of a piece of sterling silver jewelry might be different from month to month, and even day to day in the case of wholesale.

Business Overhead
Just like any other business, the sales have to cover also the overhead of running the business. Normal overhead costs are employees' salaries, rent, utilities and breakage.

Profit
Of course, the price you pay includes the profit for the sellers.

By knowing the above facts, you can make much more informed decisions when buying wholesale sterling silver jewelry and most importantly, avoid scams. There are occasions when people make fake silver jewelry and sell them at a very low price. If you know how to determine the cost of a piece of silver jewelry, you won't buy into deals where they offer you a price that is lower than the normal cost of real sterling silver jewelry.

Trading Options Online...tools For Profits

Author: Avery Mann

Like penny stocks, options appeal to small investors because the initial cash outlay is smaller than actually having to purchase the assets. It is for this reason that many go swimming in the option pool without first learning how to swim. Before they know it, they are in the deep end,  treading water and going under. Many of the online brokers have their new clients show proof of option trading experience before allowing them to trade in options

The popularity of option trading has grown over the past couple of decades, mostly due to everyone having easy access to the internet. Like most things having to do with the market, options began as way that commodities could be assured of a future price. No one knows who came up with the concept, but to hedge their bets options were created. Remember, an option is a contract between a buyer and a seller that gives the buyer the right, BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION to buy or to sell a particular asset (the underlying asset) at a later day at an agreed price. What began more than 150 years ago at the Chicago Board of Trade, Kansas City Board of Trade, the Minneapolis Grain Exchange, and the New York Cotton Exchange, has evolved into the fastest way to make or lose a fortune.

So why, you ask, should someone even consider toying with option trading? The answer is, you shouldn't. Unless of course you already know a little something about day trading. The modern trader does not hold onto an option very long. In most cases the option gets sold the same day it was acquired. The secrets to finding the right asset to option are twofold. You must look for a stock or commodity that has a lot of movement, up or down doesn't matter. Second, there must be higher than normal volume. If you are not properly trained or at least have some options market knowledge, you can lose your investment in an instant. I am of course referring to the American market where an option  may be exercised on any trading day on or before expiration. A  European option may only be exercised on expiration. There are several different styles of options available. This is just one of the many things you must know about to become a successful options trader.

Your Options Are Many

Types of options are
Exchange traded options which are:
1. stock options,
2. commodity options,
3. bond options and other interest rate options
4. stock market index options or, simply, index options and
5. options on futures contracts
And...
Over-the-counter options:
1. interest rate options
2. currency cross rate options, and
3. options on swaps or swaptions.

Knowing what to Trade Is Just the Beginning

The Right Platform Is Your Only Option
This is why you must be knowledgeable and confident before attempting to do even one option transaction. Without correct and through training and the right kind of software to trade on, you can very easily lose your investment. To be affective the platform should meet at least a minimum of three qualifications.

1. It must be able to offer live streaming technical data.    (Otherwise the program is merely educational)   

2 Visually it has to be large enough for all the data to be seen easily. (Many of the online brokerage's technical data is too small to be useful)

3. It must be cost effective. (Most good systems can be purchased for between one and two hundred dollars)

I don't profess to being an expert, but I do know of some. I obviously don't have the time to go into all the details now, but at my site  Market Mentalist you will find all you need to know about investing online. There is an abundance of articles and product information on Trading Options Online...Tools for Profits
There is access to some of the top trading systems available including software, books, newsletters, and Forums. Whether you are an inquisitive novice or a seasoned pro Market Mentalist offers the online investment resource you just might be seeking.

Invention Companies Offer Patent Help...and Other Scams

Author: Avery Mann

When I think of an inventor, people like De Vinci ,Ben Franklin, Edison, and Bell come to mind. Now days it seems anyone with an idea is an inventor. Granted, we do have people coming up with marvelous and very creative ideas. We see it all the time on late night info commercials. The reality is that less then 10% of patents even make it to market. I think it’s because most so-called inventors, don’t take the time to investigate if there is even a market for their product. None the less, thousandsof people have ideas that are going to make them rich,
and they don’t know where to start.
That is where your friendly Invention Company comes to the rescue. The thing is, they all offer legitimate services and have clients who have actually made money. Oh what
money you can make too. A license agreement is the Golden Fleece for inventors. Many times a company who likes your idea will pay as much as $100,000 or more, in up-front money. Then the monthly residuals can also be in the thousands. Remember that 10% I talked about,
well that pertains to the Invention Companies as well. I’m not going to name names, because most of them operate in the same manner. You can always Google invention
companies. I’m sure you will find more than a handful listed. I’m also equally as sure if you go to Rip Off Report you’ll see many of them listed there as well. Almost all of these companies
reel their fish in the same way, with the offer of a free gift or evaluation.
THE BAIT
Invention Companies don’t want to scare you, so they usually offer to send out the FREE obligatory Invention Kit. It is always presented in a very attractive and professional package. They all send a beautiful brochure, and some even include a CD showing what a great organization you are getting involved with. Of course there is always information on Patent Help. They want to plant that seed of protecting your fantastic idea right away. The other document they enclose is your safe form to submit your idea. (This can also be accomplished
online through their secure website) It won’t take very long before they contact you, believe me.

THE HOOK

When they contact you, it is always with good news. Your idea or invention has enormous potential. Before we can move forward however, it must first be determined if there is someone who came up with your idea first. Now it just so happens that they have put together the most efficient team of researchers, so they can keep the cost of a Patent Search very reasonable. The price they charge is somewhere in the neighborhood of $500-$700. Of course once they determine yours is a unique idea, then they will be there to assist you with a Patent. That cost is not quoted of course, because they must do the Patent Search first.

THE CATCH

For those unsuspecting “inventors” who let them do the Patent Search, the company also offers the complete line of services, designed to take your idea from concept to market. By this time you have fully researched them. Their Brochure has listed the hundreds of manufactures just waiting to buy your product. All we need now is the perfect PROTOTYPE. For only $10,000 to $15,000 of your money, they will design, build, and “market” your brainchild, and take only 10-15% of what you make.The “marketing” consist  in most cases, of false promises.The so-called manufacturing contacts, constitutes no more then listing your invention on a website that prospectivebuyers can view. A good prototype will occasionally bepresented at trade shows. Most cases however, sadly end up with a $20,000+ souvenir for their efforts.

There are a few Invention Companies that do offer to pay for everything, if your idea or invention is worthy of their investment. Of course they will take a piece of the pie,20-25%.
That seems fair. If they’re footing the bill, then they are surly going to do everything to get you that licencing agreement. The “hook” here is that an evaluation must first
be performed, to determine the validity of your project. That will be priced at about $200. Now if you truly believe yours is the next best thing, this is the way to go. It was for me.
I will warn you however, your idea must be marketable to absolutely everyone, or don’t waste your money. I came about 12 points from acceptance, because I was catering to a niche market. A very large niche, but none the less, a niche market. I don’t regret the investment however, I was  able to learn a little more about the business. They told meabout the Provisional Patent. Which for only $100 will give you protection for a year. Let the manufacture who buys the idea pay for your real Patent. Something you’ll never hear from those other invention companies. They also guided me in the direction of some website’s that manufactures peruse.
Which brings me to this little tip for you. Never send anyone anything original without first doing:
A POOR MANS COPYRIGHT
It is something I learned about when I was a young writer submitting television treatments. Any original thought or  idea that you come up with, should be protected with this procedure. On paper, write down everything about your idea, including all drawings or plans. Then mail it to yourself as registered mail. It will be timed stamped and dated. Keep it safe because it is considered a legal document, and will hold up in court.

Well now that I knew about patent searches, patents, and provisional patents, I thought what else didn’t I have knowledge of. Further research led me to an offer by a very respected inventor. He has dozens of patents, many of which has made him extremely wealthy. For only $350.00 he sends you his system that shows you how to take an idea and market it.The system also includes the inventor as your very own mentor.Believe me, if I spent the $350.00, I would be giving you his name and website right now.
But I found something equivalent for a fraction of that cost.

Frank Stapleton the co-inventor of the Screensweep, has written an E-Book that tells you everything you need to know. Chances are you have used his invention to clear the dust off your computer monitor. Millions of Screensweeps have been sold since 1998 and are still selling today. His book covers everything, including:
*  Patent an invention without paying the hefty patenting fees.
*  How to get your product to market quickly WITHOUT wiping out your entire life savings or mortgaging your home.
*  The EXACT sequence of events you need to follow to launch your invention idea. Just follow the simple step-by-step flow chart included in the e-book.

Please, before doing anything read this book. You can find it at:

I invested almost $200.00 before getting on the right track. I Hope I have helped you to at least understand better, the Invention Company’s game.

Gas Price Saving Tips

Author: Steve Evans

It’s only reasonable to cut down on the amount of gas you use since the gas prices aren’t as low as they were in the past. Many people are ignorant of the simple and painless methods used to save gas. By linking up with appropriate sources like Gas Buddy before buying gas you are sure to get gas at favourable rates.

Gas buddy is actually a website where records of prices from gas stations nationwide are kept. You can find the most economical stations in any city.

Maybe you’re of the opinion that it won’t make a difference when you save 25 cents every time you buy a gallon of gas but it will, at the long run. Also, it’s important to keep your car properly maintained, if you really want to save gas. To get your car running efficiently, always keep the engine tuned and don’t ignore it when there is a need for oil and air filter change. Every time you maintain your car you are actually saving gas.

The third tip to saving gas is -- don’t use the vehicle air conditioning too much. If it is always on when you are driving then you will never be able to effectively save gas, as a lot of gas is used up when the air conditioner is on.

Make use of it only when it is compulsory; for instance when the weather isn’t favorable. The technology of water cars also saves gas effectively.

Since you can set it up on your own, it’s an easy method of saving gas. You need to be sure about this technology by digging deeper and discovering facts that will help you save cost.

Gaining information won’t pose a problem if you visit the appropriate online sites.

But be careful not to rely on any information that suggests you run your car on 100% water. To own this type of complicated technology, you will spend a lot of your money, and you still won’t be 100% certain of its workability.

Currency Trading Tips - How to Choose the Best Pair for Forex Currency Trade

Author: Daniel S.

Does anyone of you have an idea on which currency pairs are the best to trade in forex? Is it the major currency pairs, the cross pairs or the exotic pairs? Well there isn't really a right and wrong answer; it depends on how you define 'best'. If a currency pair has tight spreads, it may be considered the best trading currency pair for you, but may not apply for others. So now we'll discuss on various factors on choosing a forex pair:

1. Spreads - There is always an advantage to trade currency pairs that have a tight spread in forex trading. It means that lesser spreads equal to more profit, lesser spreads give you more room for price fluctuation if you have a tight stop loss and lesser spreads may help you to breakeven your forex trade earlier. Does that make sense to you? EUR/USD has the tightest spread of 2 to 3 pips for most forex brokers and even 1 pip for some brokers, while GBP/JPY has spread of 6 to 10 pips. For some forex traders who care a lot on spreads, he will certainly choose the formal over the latter.

2. Trendiness - For chartist traders like me, I depend mostly on technical indicators to help me decide which forex currency pair to trade. Although volatility is considered good, but it is then more risky and need a wider range of stop loss. e.g. is GBP/USD. On my forex trading screen, I have 7 to 8 currency pairs in smaller windows, so that I'm able to decide which pair is the trendiest, even when all pairs seem to have a trend. Though EUR/USD and USD/CHF is negatively correlated 90% of the time, you will sometimes find either of the pairs trending better than the other. Therefore you will want to choose the more trendy pair to trade with the help of some forex technical indicators.

3. Trading Sessions - The best time to trade forex is when the market is the most active and therefore has the biggest volume of trades. During Asian hours when Tokyo opens, the better trading time is from 7PM EST to 10PM EST. But since not all the currency pairs are actively moving, you may want to trade AUD/USD as it starts to move during the stated timing. When London market opens, this is where you can trade almost all the currency pairs. I will trade from 3AM EST to 6AM EST depending on the trendiness of the pair; example is GBP/USD, EUR/USD etc. Another trading session which will experience high volatility is from 8AM EST to 12PM EST where both the London and U.S. markets are open at the same time.

After looking at the above factors, do you think there is a right and wrong answer on choosing the best forex currency pair? I doubt so. As long as you are using a reliable forex trading system to help you, all currency pairs can be profitable. To know more on the behavior of the currency pairs, you can find it in my FREE forex ebook with a forex trading system that can help you generate profits consistently.

Gobal Warming Induced Heat Waves Are More Deadly Than A Killer Virus

Author: James Nash

A record heat wave scorched Europe in August 2003, claiming an estimated 65,000 lives. In France alone, 17,622 people died from the searing temperatures, more than 19 times the death toll from the SARS epidemic worldwide. In the worst heat spell in decades, temperatures in France soared to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) and remained unusually high for two weeks.

This summer's high temperatures also hit other European countries. Germany saw some 9,000 people die from the heat. Spain and Italy each suffered heat-related losses of nearly 7,300 lives. The heat wave claimed at least 1,900 lives in Portugal and up to 2,400 lives in the Netherlands.

In London - which on August 10th recorded its first triple-digit Fahrenheit temperature - an estimated 1,600 people died from the heat. Heat-related fatalities across the United Kingdom reached 2,045. In Belgium, temperatures higher than any in the Royal Meteorological Society's register dating back to 1833 brought 150 deaths. Since reports are not available for all European countries, the total heat death toll for the continent is likely to be substantially larger.

August 2003 was the warmest August on record in the northern hemisphere, but according to the projections of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), even more extreme weather events lie ahead. By the end of the century, the world's average temperature is projected to increase by 2.5-10.4 degrees Fahrenheit (1.4-5.8 degrees Celsius). As the mercury climbs, more frequent and more severe heat waves are in store.

Though heat waves rarely are given adequate attention, they claim more lives each year than floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes combined. Heat waves are a silent killer, mostly affecting the elderly, the very young, or the chronically ill.

Under normal circumstances, humans maintain a body temperature around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. When subject to extreme heat, the body attempts to maintain this ideal temperature by varying blood circulation and perspiring. When the internal body temperature rises above 104 degrees Fahrenheit, vital organs are at risk. If the body temperature is not brought down, death follows.

The threshold ambient temperature at which more people are at risk for heat-related health problems varies greatly by location. In general, when summer temperatures range 10 degrees Fahrenheit or more above the norm, incidences of heat-related illness increase dramatically. High humidity compounds the effects of high heat by reducing evaporation, rendering perspiration a less-effective cooling mechanism. When excessive heat prevails for more than two consecutive days, the risk of heat sickness and death escalates. Health and social services may be overwhelmed.

Heat waves take the greatest human toll in cities. Urban centers, where the area of heat-absorbing dark roofs and pavement exceeds the area covered by cooling vegetation, are like "heat islands" and can be as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the surrounding countryside. While people in rural areas generally get some relief from the heat when temperatures fall at night, urban areas stay warmer around the clock. Air pollution, which usually is worse in cities than in the countryside, can also exacerbate the health-damaging effects of high temperatures by further stressing the body's respiratory and circulatory systems.

Several of the worst heat waves of the twentieth century occurred in U.S. cities. In 1955, an eight-day run of temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in Los Angeles left 946 people dead. In 1972, New York City suffered a two-week heat wave that claimed 891 lives. More recently, an extreme heat wave in Chicago in 1995 killed 739 people in a matter of days. Slow political recognition of the threat and an overloaded response system worsened the effects of the weather anomaly.

A lack of public recognition of the danger that high temperatures pose adds to the lethality of heat waves. Heat wave warnings often do not carry the weight of other natural disaster alerts. Except during major outbreaks, heat-related deaths often go unreported, and few governments systematically keep records of them.

Even once a heat wave has passed, politicians are reluctant to acknowledge its toll. Chicago's mayor denied the severity of the city's 1995 heat wave. In Europe, it took over a month for France's government to release heat wave fatality estimates that corroborated estimates from overwhelmed undertakers. Several neighboring governments are still challenging reports from medical examiners.

Even in India, where heat-related fatalities in the thousands during pre-monsoonal high temperatures are no longer uncommon, the National Disaster Management Cell does not classify heat waves as a natural disaster. While accurate data are hard to come by, it appears that India has seen the number of deaths due to heat climb over the years as populations have grown and temperatures have risen.

In May 2003, peak temperatures of 113-117 degrees Fahrenheit (45-49 degrees Celsius) claimed over 1,600 lives throughout the country. In the state of Andhra Pradesh alone, some 1,200 people died from the heat. A year earlier, a one-week heat wave with temperatures topping 122 degrees Fahrenheit took over 1,000 lives.

Over the last 25 years the average global temperature rose by 1 degree Fahrenheit, or 0.6 degrees Celsius. The IPCC's projected rise in temperature for this century is a global average, but the temperature is expected to rise more over land, where people live, than over sea. As temperatures continue to climb, the toll of heat waves in individual countries could jump from the thousands to the tens of thousands. The World Meteorological Organization estimates that the number of heat-related fatalities could double in less than 20 years.

Already we are seeing evidence of more frequent heat waves. In India, death tolls from heat that were recorded over an entire summer some 10 years ago are now occurring in just one week. In the United States, a 1998 study of summertime temperatures using data from 1949 to 1995 found that the frequency of extremely hot and humid days and the occurrence of multiple-day heat waves increased significantly during that period. Some of the increase is due to urbanization, a trend that is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

Although the historical data for heat waves leave much to be desired, we can say with confidence that the August heat wave in Europe has broken all records for heat-induced human fatalities. As awareness of the scale of this tragedy spreads, it is likely to generate pressure to reduce carbon emissions. For many of the millions who suffered through these record heat waves and the relatives of the tens of thousands who died, cutting carbon emissions is becoming a pressing personal issue.
