Mystic Topaz RIng

Sorry this isn't quite metal related, but it will be once it's made...I was just wondering if anyone might know of a dealer that sells Mystic Topaz Gemstones. I have a customer that wants me to make her a ring with this stone, and she wants it to be the square (princess) cut. I haven't been able to find it. All the ones I've come across are the Emerald cut.

Hi Gerry!

Glad to see you made over here on ArtMetal. You'll find that this forum is full of talent, and inspiration! Feel free to share some images of your work with everyone, and a bit about yourself. It was great to see you again the other day!


Insurance on Handmade Work

Hi Guys and Gals,

I've got a business question about insurance. Should I get the jewelry that I sent to the Gallery insured through my own policy even though it is already insured through the owner of the Gallery? I've signed a contract that had all the pieces listed that now reside in the Gallery, and on that contract it states that each piece is insured in case of damages, theft, etc. etc.


In need of some advice...

So I've been thinking about what it is that I truly want to do with my work whether it be in Jewelry, or in Metal Sculpture and have always known that I would someday love to travel with my work...meaning that I would like to display my work in either shops like boutiques if it jewelry, or Art Galleries abroad...A touristy area would be best.
