Hi Lon,
Pure Gold, so 24 Carat bullion grade ... or .999 fine Silver. They don’t usually make jewelry from those pure grades. Too soft. But let me check my racks of bar stock .... I know it’s here somewhere...
Now; in completed Items, I have 100% handmade by GLBarnes, in lacquered Antique Copper and Marine Grade Aluminum. Unless you planned to melt them down right away, they will “Wear” just the same on chain or thong. Wink.
A stroll through Kay Jewelers, or ten minutes on QVC will load you up on 10-14k Gold Pendants. But; it looks like “Handmade By Barnes” is still more rare right now. In fact ... taking History into account ... it’s looking like there’s going to end up being a lot more little Gold Statues of Giraffes and Cats and stuff, then unique Barnes items. I’d buy Barnes.
Thanks Bud
Gary
