Titanium Bracelets:
Some men are not crazy about the idea of wearing jewelry. Myself included, ever since I arrived in Australia because their attitude is different to Britain.
My Brother is one who really does not care for gold or silver jewelry. I never even considered buying him a piece of jewelry until I saw a titanium bracelet that was so masculine that I was sure that my brother would like it.

To my surprise, he loved the titanium bracelet.
My brother is a sheet metal worker who spends a lot of hours working with dangerous machinery.
His job does not allow him to really wear things that can get caught in the machines. He has to keep shirt sleeves rolled up or very tight against his wrists to meet safety requirements.
He does not even wear his wedding ring while he is working.

Old Cameo Locket Question: Hi there, 
I am not sure if i am asking the right person or not, I hope I am as I have a tiny gold locket and I am confused by the markings on it.
It is a delicate little thing, only about 1 and a half cms wide and long. It is heart shaped, with a thin zigzag pattern engraved around the edge on the front.
Price: $40.00
After the pattern is a few, spaced out, swirly like lines that swirl around the main focus point, which is a cameo which sits in the middle, attached in 6 claws. The cameo is about 1cm wide and long and sits closer to the top of the locket then the bottom.
It is very pretty and opens up, it does not have any hinges, it simply has two rings attached to the top of the locket, one on each side, that a link goes through so it can be put on a chain and the top of locket simply sits on top of the bottom half and when it opens ups, it opens up completely with the top being able to be flipped over so the front and back of the locket can lay flat on a surface.
The back of the locket is stamped down the bottom near the V part of the heart and it reads 10CT.L.D this is marked straight across the bottom of the locket, i am unsure what it means, does it mean Gold Lined?
I am unsure, thank you for your help. Jo
P.s I have tried to find the answer but can not find any gold markings that match or explain it, thank you for you time, if possible would you be able to guess it age? Thanks.

Gold Ring Appraisal After Resizing Question:
Hello, My spouse had a ring made for me, without knowing my ring size, and had it made a size 7.
The appraisal was done at that time and the ring weighed 6.7 grams. I had to have it resized down to a size 5.5, it then weighed 6.18 grams.
Practical Jewellery Repair
Price: $22.04
I recently had to have it resized up to a size 6.5 and it still weighs 6.18 grams.
This was all done at the original place of purchase.
This last resize is a bad job as there is a divot and you can see where it was resized, also an emerald has been chipped.
It is a gold band that is (was) fairly thick all the way around with stones only on the top.
How does the change in weight affect my original appraisal if I were to resell the ring?
I'm quite disheartened by the bad resize job and no change in gold weight, is that normal?
Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me.
