    Thankyou for all those whom replied to polishing difficulties. I
    shall hopefully have an easier time of it next piece i make. 

    I have found that the safety pickle ( warmed kind)  that I use
    leaves the silver item with a white coating. I am sure that the 
    pickle that was used at evening class  brought the item up silver!
    how should I expect the silver item to come out of the pickle pot?? 

    I am lukcy that a local hairdresser has very kindly offered to take
    some of my jewellery , and isn't charging any commission! Pricing was
    a nightmare, to start with I wasn't allowing a profit!   I was
    wondering what sort of %profit I should be realistically working
    towards? so I am really excited about that, although it was nerve
    wracking as its the first time any of my work has gone out into the
    world. Its all happening so fast, I only started eight months ago! 

    However I have also been told of a more suitable jewellery and craft
    shop to consider approaching. which got me thinking about commission.
    What kind of price/percentage should I expect a shop to take for
    hosting my jewellery? And being naive and un-bussiness minded, I
    suppose you price to reflect that do you? 

    Its all quite nerve-wracking!! 

thanks
Nikky
