    My name is Keith Hible and I would like to introduce myself.. 

    Please visit http://madjeweler.smugmug.com 
    for jewelry that I have created. 

    80% or more of the pieces you see were either created from scratch
    or created by using materials that the customer already owned. 

    I make the jewelry, I take the pictures, I work on Gold, Sterling
    Silver and Platinum, as well as non-precios jewelry metals. I do
    Centrifugal and Vacuum Casting, Mold and Model Making, Wax Carving,
    Bright Cutting, Pave', Channel Setting, Gypsy Setting... 

    I am particularly talented at hand engraving. Enough so that other
    jewelers and machine engraving shops in St. Louis refer customers to
    me. 

    I am extremely computer literate (Build websites, SQL Server
    databases, Domain Admin, Network Engineer Etc...) and my current
    position as a Senior Client Support Specialist at a major University
    reflects that. 

    I have been co-owner of an independent jewelry store here in St.
    Louis for the past 14 years involved in all facets of owning and
    operating an independent jewelry store.. The tragedy of divorce has
    struck me recently so at 44 years of age, I am re-formulating my
    life. 

    I am willing to re-locate for a permanent long term position with
    appropriate compensation. 

    1. Can you do stone setting? (prong, fancy cut, channel, pave). YES. 
    2. Have you worked on Platinum? YES. 
    3. Do you do casting ? (Gold, Platinum) YES. Gold. Platinum someday. 
    4. Do you carve waxes? YES. 
    5. Do you do hand engraving? YES. 
    6. Do you see yourself more as a stone setter or a goldsmith? I do
    both well. 
    7. Have you ever run or owned a shop? Yes. For 14 years with my
    wife. 
    8. Have you trained and managed employees. YES Jewelers as well as
    numerous teenagers (As many as 16 at a time) 

    Please respond with your questions. 

Keith Hible
