    Elaine Thanks for clarifying that, we look forward to the results and
    images. Some of us are just to busy to attend shows, and have to
    rely on others knowledge and experience. That's what makes this
    forum so valuable. There are those in the enamel industry who use
    both Ceramit and other plastic base "enamels" as well as vitreous
    hard enamel and don't make the distinction between them when selling
    the finished product. They have misled their merchants by not
    informing them of it and many times get in trouble because of it.
    One in particular is using a non Virtuous enamel on white gold bands
    and some other floral pins in yellow gold. The retailer has found
    out the hard way when they try to solder or ultrasonically clean it
    only to have it fall off or burn. The response from the manufacturer
    is "I said it is all enamel, no need to distinguish between
    soft(cold) and hard enamel" The minimum purchase from this
    manufacturer is over $35,000 per year. He is really doing an
    injustice to his customers.
