    Is there a book or a resource that someone could point me toward
    that gives good information on the repair of costume jewelry? 

    I get so many requests for this sort of thing that I've started
    thinking I ought to look into it. Do I need to learn to use a
    soldering iron? Actually, I'm not sure that I really want to open
    this can of worms but I do get such disappointed looks when I turn
    away a customer who wants a piece, which has sentimental value,
    fixed that I'm now willing to at least look into it. 

Thanks for any help.
