Clarence,

    First, I would get insurance. I do not know how someone would give
    you a piece of their jewelry to repair if you did not have insurance
    to cover the value of the item. Make sure you inspect it when you are
    given the item. Have customer inspect with you and note nay problems
    with loose stones, damaged stones, etc., have the customer initial
    your findings. You don't want them coming back to you
    saying.......... you damaged, etc., CYA. 

    You can go to local jewelry shops who often have to out source
    repairs and let them know you are available to do work. 

    I liked the suggestion made of joining local chamber of commerce.
    Good idea. There is also an organization called Pennsylvania Soc. of
    Goldsmiths. Check archives for information. They have members in the
    Philadelphia area.
