I think anyone with your Edwardian sensibilities will also be able to overcome a 'knuckle problem'; besides there are many times when a good punch will pull you out of more trouble than a slim knuckle.lady macleodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12830048414719866472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340201738604749473.post-39373735027042736342007-11-06T13:52:00.000+00:002007-11-06T13:52:00.000+00:00How's Grey Mare?

I have read back and see that as yet there is no cure but you seem much more hopeful for G. Mare. I tried the Jill stuff but it's my daughter who loved them. Also that series about that mad Arabian horse that kept trying to kill its little girl owner who, surprisingly to my mind, remained fond of her (just joking).Omega Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06510548355469861782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340201738604749473.post-46268538813886712762007-10-25T11:29:00.000+01:002007-10-25T11:29:00.000+01:00It's really easy to stretch a simple ring - any je...It's really easy to stretch a simple ring - any jeweller should be able to do it for you in a few minutes. They have a long, tapered tool (a mandrell), slip the ring onto it and tap the shank with a light hammer until it's the right size, then polish out the hammer marks.<BR/><BR/>Much harder to reduce it - that involves cutting and resoldering, which even more difficult if there's a set stone, since the stone will usually have to be removed first.<BR/><BR/>Hope you get something good. I don't usually bid at all until a few minutes before the auction ends.Rob Clackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15461714931300617149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340201738604749473.post-17875415571315755992007-10-24T13:30:00.000+01:002007-10-24T13:30:00.000+01:00I've set you a little challenge!

I wouldn't worry about your knuckles, I think in those days they had smaller everything than us, I think that the unknown edwardian lady would be chuffed to bits to think her ring was going to someone who would think about all the people that had worn it. I think she'd want you to get the whole outfit to go with it as well though, and I'm sure you'd look fabulous, well, they did wear gloves in those days...rilly superhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448694078653341955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340201738604749473.post-49312003812197208002007-10-23T11:14:00.000+01:002007-10-23T11:14:00.000+01:00Buy the ring and have it extended - any good jewel...Buy the ring and have it extended - any good jeweller could do it for you.
