Lapidary Crafting and Jewelry Making

It depends upon exactly what you're selling. If you run a turquoise mine, you sell to overseas cutting shops or skilled domestic lapidaries. If you mean a single piece of turquoise jewelry, try Craigslist or your friends. If you're proposing to sell a line of turquoise jewelry, build a website, get a booth at local gem/jewelry shows, hit the shows at Tucson, or talk to your local jewelry store.

The "MC 211" marking on a piece of jewelry typically indicates the manufacturer or designer's mark, with "MC" likely representing the initials of the creator or brand.

Exact and clearly proven causes of the rise or fall of ancient civilizations are seldom found.

A "GH" stamp on a piece of jewelry typically indicates that the item is made from gold that has been alloyed with other metals to enhance its durability and appearance. The "G" often denotes the gold content, while "H" may refer to the quality or specific alloy used. However, it's important to note that the exact meaning can vary by manufacturer or region, so it's always best to consult with a jeweler for precise information.

In addition to a high school diploma, most jewelers have some post-secondary education related to jewelry. They are trained in areas such as jewelry design, jewelry repair, metal arts, or gemology. These programs are offered by colleges, technical schools, and art and design schools across the country.

Diamond set rings are, as the name implies, rings set with diamonds and/or other precious gemstones. Historically, diamond rings were used as engagement rings, denoting the marital status of a couple. Nowadays, diamond rings are used as fashion accessories as well as engagement rings.

They determine the karat. 24K is genuine, no fillers, no magnetization, then 20k, 18k, 14k and lastly 10k, the smaller the K the less real gold is in it. 24K has been out of production for quite some time now, they need the gold for computers and such and there is only so much to go around. It was said that all the gold in the world was a block 50'X50'X50', this was a few years ago now.

That indicates the purity of the metal. Coins and gold bars are usually 999,9 out of 1000. In this case, the item contains 325 out of 1000 parts of pure (gold). In jewelry, the rest is usually filled with fine gold and gold mixed with other fine metals. Sterling silver has a purity of 975 out of 1000.

In fact, this is how diamonds are cut to make them in to specific diamond shapes. They are sawed with a diamond-coated saw or a laser.

Green turquoise can be actual turquoise; Nevada produces shades of green.

The term is also sometimes applied to variscite, but this is nonsensical, foolish, and misleading, as variscite is a beautiful and valued gem that needs no other name. Sadly, the jewelry trade is rife with such idiocy; eg. red emerald and green amethyst.

The study of jewelry making is called "jewelry design" or "jewelry making." This discipline encompasses various skills and techniques, including metalworking, stone setting, and design principles. It often involves both artistic creativity and technical craftsmanship to create functional and aesthetic pieces. Educational programs may offer courses in these areas, combining theory with hands-on practice.

It's almost certainly the item's "fineness". For most jewelry the gold's purity is measured in units of 1000, often but not always represented as a decimal, with 1.000 being pure gold. Thus 800 (or 0.800 or .800) would mean gold that's 80% pure, with the remaining 20% being other metals added to increase the alloy's hardness.
