[Jewelry making - Article 00388] - [Orchid] History of Sandblasting in Jewelry

    I'm a jeweler and college jewelry teacher who's been hired to do a
    little bit or research regarding jewelry history.  One question I
    haven't been able to find the answer to is when sandblasting first
    got started to be used as a metal finishing technique in jewelry
    design? 

    Does anybody know the answer to that question? 

    Are there any retired or close to retired jewelers or jewelry
    teachers who can remember when they first started utilizing
    sandblasting as a design element? 

    Any assistance from anyone who knows the answer to this question
    would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks so much,
Jeff Georgantes
