Keeps Forge asked:


I like to spray paint the chain I purchase at Michael’s to match the pieces of jewelry I add to it. I can get most of it painted,but the parts of the chain that overlap do not get covered. I’m not sure how I can sufficiently paint the entire chain. I thought of painstakingly painting each piece and then putting it together,but in the reassembling process I would end up scraping off paint with my tools. Please help!

John asked:


i was thinking of creating a pendant rather than buying one, in other words, using a nut (tool), ring, or any small enough object.

any ideas?

Derek Smith asked:


I have a gold rope chain about 15 grams 20 inches. I have two charms I really want to wear but at the same time. The first charm is 1.5 grams in weight and the other charm is 1 gram in weight. Will i look like a tool if i do this? Also is it to much weight for my chain that’s 15 grams to wear charms that equal to 2.5 grams in weight.

rissaofthesaiyajin asked:

I bought a string of gorgeous tiger’s eye stones in a market on holiday, but when I got them home and wore the necklace it broke and the stones went everywhere – on examination I realised the stones had been strung onto a thin bit of thread, which had frayed and snapped.

What I want to know is, would a jeweller’s or jewellery repair store be willing to put the stones onto a chain for me? The majority of the stones are still on the thread, which I have knotted back up – the rest are kept safe in a plastic bag. I would buy a chain and do it myself, but the holes in the stones are tiny (perhaps 1mm diameter) and I don’t have that kind of patience/dexterity/tools.

So? Do you think they would do it? Is this considered a repair, or a whole new piece of jewellery?

Princess K asked:

Does anyone know unique tools/gadgets that will help men who wear their wedding bands all the time except for very few instances for a short period of time (such as playing sports or working out at the gym)? For instance, a key chain or neck chain type of tool/gadget that will enable them to EASILY safekeep the ring close to them and be able to EASILY wear it back right after?

melanie asked:

I have a stainless steel ball dog chain necklace that I’d like to cut so it’s shorter. However, the tools I’ve tried don’t work…scissors, needle-nose pliers, saw…any ideas? Is there a special clipper I could buy somewhere?
