If your Valentine is suggesting you say it with diamonds, pearls or other gems,
you might want to talk to someone at a jewelry story. Nick Hytrek visited with Rusty
Clark, jeweler, gemologist and owner of Thorpe & Co. Jewellers. 1. What all
does a jeweler do? A jeweler is not someone you see on the (sales) floor. He or

another story like the "world's largest diamond." The "world's largest diamond,"

It's hard to feel like you've mastered any technique if you aren't familiar with
the terms associated with it. Soldering is no different--even as you get comfortable
with moving your flame around while keeping an eye on the state of your flux and
