Mail Call! TRL, eBay Pumpkins
October 20, 2008
It’s always fun to get good stuff in the mail. Today, amongst the credit card offers, grocery ads and a statement from my dentist, I got two small packages.
And you know what they say about small packages 
The first was a pack of 10 lampwork pumpkins that I ordered from an eBay seller. They were a little larger than I’d thought, but will still work swell for some fall/Halloween earrings.
The second was a small box of rings from The Ring Lord…although I like making my own rings, I do order specialty and tiny rings from TRL – in my opinion, they have The Best Rings out there! This order included some tiny (3/32) sterling rings, some 14k gold filled and some rose gold rings. MMMMMMMMMMM I was drooling all over the table!
A couple of things to keep in mind if you are ordering rings from TRL. First, if you want nice, flush cut rings (suitable for jewelry), you need to order SAW cut, not MACHINE cut. It sounds backward to me, but believe me, you don’t want to make this mistake! With the saw cut rings, properly joined jump rings will appear to have no cut – I pride myself in nearly invisible joins and have had fellow jewelers compliment me on my joins.
Also, make sure you add a note in the comment field to mark gauge, metal type and ring size for all rings. If you don’t, TRL will just drop your rings in the bags and you’ll be on your own to figure out what’s what.
What’s in YOUR mail box today?
