[BackyardBullion]

Hello everyone!

With Christmas and New Year behind us we can all look forward to our next hallmark holiday - Valentines Day!

I have an exciting new product that I have just launched - please see the below video and if you are interested then please get in touch!

Exact price will depend on the weight of the piece - the silver will cost £20/oz, then an additional £5 per piece for custom hand stamping and an additional £5 for a custom accompanying video. Please note that these prices are included for the additional time it will take me to stamp and make the video.

Lead time 1 week from order. 

Payment will be via Paypal F&F or G&S +3%. Orders over £50 will include free postage, otherwise it is at your choice and cost. 

Thanks and any questions just let me know!

Can you meke them with a loop so they can be used with a necklet?

I haven't experimented with this yet, maybe one day but there would be a couple of things to consider if I were to do this.

First - It would most certainly have to be hallmarked as it will no longer be in the grey area of an Ingot or bar, as it would be classed as jewellery. If I did not do a hallmark then I would have to sell this item without using the word silver. It would be a "white metal" object for you to make of what you will! Strange old laws here in the UK! This would increase the price of the item as I would have to get it sent off for hallmarking etc etc. Probably looking at +£10 if I were to send it on its own to get hallmarked - maybe less if I got it in a batch to send off. 

Second - the large heart is 2.2 oz, which is quite a lot to have hanging around your neck! It would mean that I have to do a pretty sturdy solder of a loop, and I haven't ever done this before! Cost of loop, solder and a silver chain, just an estimate +£10 maybe? Dont know really!

Any thoughts from jewellers etc please let me know!

I'd have to agree, 2.2oz would be a heck of a pendant, would have to be a pretty heavyweight chain.

It would be a little silly to be honest! even a 1oz heart is a little bulky! You would get neck ache for sure!

[GoldBenj]

@sixgun Not sure you'd catch mr T wearing a silver heart round his neck, Get some nuts and all that

Thanks again BYB, you have been an absolute pleasure to deal with !

Megans got a truely 1 off present and a cool video and story to tell her all about it.

On a side note... did all 3 roo's go into the heart ? Wondered if you lost some from the melting / pouring process ?

No the left over was used doing other pours that day. Because of the running costs of the graphite crucibles it makes sence for me to do at least 12 oz worth of pouring in any one pouring session. So the leftover was used to make various other pieces!

[Bullionbilly]

That makes sence, i just wondered with the 3 coins in the video. I think if i attempted a pour it would end up like that scene from  the end of The Terminator !

A special video to go with the "Love you Wifey" heart.
