I am looking for jewelry manufacturer. Who can help me ?
Looking for mfg. to create sterling silver custom photo jewelry.
Sterling silver bracelets w/charms, pendants, rings and cufflinks with
photo image imbeded under acrylic.
If you know the process of using acrylic with sterling silver I
would love to pick your brain. Can you tell me about it ??
-Get a hold of Abrasha who used to be a somewhat regular on this NG.

-Are you using a piece of cast acrylic and laminating it to the photo, or
planning to cast it over the picture? I don't think acrylic would work the
second way, although there are polyester resins ("deco-pour") that might.
Either method would produce a piece of jewelry which would be liable to get
scratched easily, due to the softness of the plastic. You might do better
using a piece of glass to cover the picture, or something even harder, like
synthetic corundum. Watch crystals would be a good covering for your photos,
and they come in various materials, including artificial sapphire
