[Jewelry making - Article 00926] - [Orchid] Mokume rings materials issue revisited

    A resolution to a difficult situation. 

    About a year ago I was inquiring about the etching of the mokume
    gane wedding rings my husband and I had purchased 3 months prior.
    Shibuichi and Shakudo were included in the laminate. [see:
    http://www.ganoksin.com/orchid/archive/200411/msg00619.htm] 

    Jim Binnion's information was helpful as I dealt with the owner of
    the jewelry store where we purchased the rings and with the artist
    who had made them. 

    Eventually, the store owner came to understand that the
    inappropriate use of the Japanese alloys in rings would cause a
    continuing destruction of the laminate as well as exposing sharp
    edges of the remaining metal layers. We are pleased that he
    graciously refunded the full purchase price. 

Thank you, Jim.
