Hi Warren

    I like your website! 

    The things I especially like....the photography is wonderful, nice,
    close-up images....the bracelet shown on the front page was a very
    good pick, it makes me definitely want to go further into the site. 

    There are a couple of typos...on the front page, earrings is spelled
    with only one "r" and under 'smile a while crocodile', there is a
    backslash in there by accident. 

    I like the earrings a lot, but I was wishing that I could see them
    as they would look when being worn. As a customer, this would help me
    decide to buy. Maybe they could be photo'd suspended from fishing
    line? or check this out

    I hope this doesn't upset you, but I am confused by one detail on
    the site. You describe your work as "English Solid Sterling
    Hallmarked Silver", but, under some of the items listed for sale, the
    description says (for example) "A heavy piece of hand forged sterling
    silver plate". This phrase, to me, says the items are plated with
    silver, but the website says the items are solid sterling? Perhaps
    this is a matter of terminology differences between countries. 

    Overall, you have a very professional site and I like it a lot. Have
    you decided how you are going to get traffic to your new site? Can
    you go into how you get such good images? I have a Nikon D250 SLR
    camera and I can't seem to get my pictures to have enough light
    (white balance is off or picture is just too dark). Thank you to
    everyone for your past suggestions on using Photoshop, but, if I
    lighten in Photoshop, it lightens everything (not just the
    background). 

Best of Luck
Kim
