Potential sources

Jewelry Discussion

Hello everybody,

Have some questions about potential sources - has anyone bought from
House of Gems, Bijoux Collections or International Gems and Minerals?
I’ve seen their ads in Lapidary Journal, but have hesitated buying
from them. I tried to register at the Bijoux website, but their site
would only let me register China, India, or Hong Kong (?) as my
"billing country."

Also, where can I find 22k/sterling silver or silver bimetal? Rio
and Hoover don’t seem to carry the beast. And is it possible to
enamel on this particular critter?

And is there anyone on Orchid who is knowledgeable about coins -
have some collector’s coins I don’t know the value of.

Thank you,
susannah

Susannah,

If it’s the Bijoux that’s in Los Angeles (in the valley, I think),
I’ve bought from them and I like them. They are sometimes a little
pricey, but they seem to have really beautiful things that you don’t
see everywhere else.

good luck!

Hauser and Miller and Reactive metals carry the bimetal - I haven’t
found other sources. Respective websites:
