Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

I have placed an order for some silver wire to get started with my Jewellery at home and start making stuff, I'll be putting it up for sale in this thread, for now they will be fairly basic rings made from sterling silver, I'll post up photo's of them for you to have a look at if you're interested. Sorry for the low resolution it's from my phone's camera, my first investment will probably be in more materials and a new camera so you can see everything better. I'll be sure to aim for this kind of quality before I post it up for sale and I'll list the size alongside so you don't get something you didn't ask for by accident! I get my materials etc. from here: http://www.cooksongold.com/home.jspAs I'm starting off I'll price things pretty low even for Jewellery because I'm learning so don't be surprised if the quality is less than a professional who has been doing it for years, things should improve over time though as I practice, almost forgot, I'll ship anywhere, but you guys will have to pay for the postage costs.

Here's the silver I'll be working with for the first ring or two, does anyone want to make an order for a specific ring size at all? If not I'll be making them fairly small so that I can sell them fairly small, I've also provided an invoice from the place I get the silver from so you know it's genuine, my own teacher gets her materials from this company as well. Let me know if you're interested! Otherwise I'll assume you're not and just make a couple rings randomly and put them up. If you don't know anything about ring sizes here's a chart to help: http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/ulysses/ring_size_chart_1.jpgEdit: Just did some real math and realised I'd only be able to make one with this amount, at least I know for next time now lol will be sure to get my hands on some more silver when I can afford it, it may also be better do an amulet or something perhaps than a ring.

Edit: Sorry for the bad quality photos again, I'll be sure to borrow a real camera and get some clearer photographs taken.
Edit: Better photos below

Blatant plug - Frontier Space being updated, now with a chatroom!I've gotten things sorted out finally with my new host and so far everything seems to be working fine, I'd like to see some people turn up and use it now though I have a makeshift chat room up which will be public but I'm still keeping the forum invite only to keep out the spammers, if you want to get in either PM me here with the email you'd like to receive the invite code with or talk to me in the chat. Here's the link: www.frontier-space.com/chatYou do not need a password to get in, you should just need to enter in the name and it will work, I don't know why it won't let public people register but I'll figure something out eventually, everything seems to be working fine now regardless, there really are no rules now as to what you can post on my website, just keep out the virus' and child pornography but I think for most of us that goes without saying.

I just thought I'd tell you all in advance, I have a bunch of gemstones coming in which I'm going to set in claw settings and turn into necklaces, they'll be put up for sale once they're finished.

Amethyst Ring with a claw setting Cubic Zirconia Necklace, gemstone for this one was put in with the point first, normally it's the other way round, the jump ring, necklace chain and gemstone are manufactured I'll be making more of these necklaces guys and this one is up for sale, what I'd like to know is what you think you'd pay for them, I will take payments in Bitcoins to start with and maybe even consider Litecoins too, please post some feedback and comments. Oh and if anyone is in the UK I thought I might plug my Jewellery teachers website here: http://www.pinkbutterflyjewellery.net/

Bumping to inform you all that since there was no offers I've decided to just name a price myself, making another post to tidy things up a bit from now on, message me or post if you want to purchase, I'm happy to do escrow as this will be my first time selling something physical. The chain for the necklace is unhallmarked silver, the jump ring is sterling, there is also a fine silver setting and a round Amethyst, for now I regularly get all my stuff from www.cooksongold.com who are trustworthy when it comes to the metal and gemstones. Cubic Zirconia Purple Necklace - Gemstone is set the other way round to normal: 0.7 BTC/23.6 LTC - 1 in stock Postage is free for UK customers, postage cost depends on where you want to ship it internationally.

Some interesting news folks, my teacher recommended me this site for Cabachon gemstones: http://www.kernowcraft.com/ With this I'll be able to make much better quality gemstone settings and I have decided to try the site out and have a really nice variety of gemstones coming in, I'll be sure to post some photos of the gemstones and the finished products for you to have a look at, all these necklaces will be the same 0.7 BTC price. To check things out I have ordered: . 1 Peridot . 1 Emerald . 1 Sapphire . 1 Garnet All of these will be 3mm Cabacon's, colours will be varied so there will be a selection of necklaces to choose from.

Got the gemstones today! Will begin making the settings for them and also posting up photo's of the gemstones themselves, I should note, these are all the same size 3mm round and natural gemstones, I'm always going to double check that kind of thing from now on just to be safe There are four in total, Garnet, Peridot, Emerald and Sapphire, all of these will be going up for sale, these are Cabachon's and have a flat bottom and round top, making them much easier to set because of the shape and so on.

I got my cabochon gemstones from here like the other smaller gemstones: http://www.kernowcraft.com/ they have a much better selection than Cooksons who seem to specialise more in the tools and metals side of Jewellery I'm halfway through the round cabochon necklace I showed earlier, I'll be posting WIP pictures and the finished product soon, if anyone gets interested and wants different gemstones for their necklaces I can order them from the site above. Depending on the sizes etc. the price may need to change depending on how expensive the gemstone is but feel free to have a browse, I can only do oval and round gemstones at my current skill level.

After doing some more research on prices etc. ( It really is hard at times to decide what to sell it at ) I'm lowering the price for my necklaces so I can get sales, let me know what you think.
New Price: 0.5 BTC 15 LTC
Changes will be made on Bitmit as well.
