Chris the ring arrived today and I am just so thrilled with it. The jeweler sized my finger for me and it is a bit big for that finger but fits the middle finger just fine and I just love being able to look down and see Southern Rhodesia, I am glad that I decided on the sterling silver as my other rings are sterling silver. I was born in Salisbury and after much persistence have managed to get Salisbury on my passport as my place of birth, not Harare, and although I carefully print Southern Rhodesia it still comes back Zim, guess I cannot win them all. Just need to double check that all the postage was paid for. Thanks again Margaret (Canada)

Hey Chris. I gave one of the rings you made for me to my son, Peter, yesterday whilst we were celebrating his son's second birthday. Peter was very emotional about the ring and his smile was priceless. He told his son that one day he would inherit the ring and he himself must pass it down to his son. He said by doing this, Rhodesian will never die. I was extremely proud of that statement and thank you again for allowing people like me to get untold pleasure from the brilliance of your craftsmanship.

Chris please would you be able to make me a special - a half-penny ring or pendant. I was born and lived in Bulawayo. When I was 2 years old (and believe it or not I remember the day so vividly -probably because it was so significant to me) I nearly died as I swallowed a half penny and it lodged in my oesophagus. My mother rushed me to the Mater Dei where they examined me - found nothing - and they told her to take me home - give me some supper and put me to bed. She REFUSED - she said she would NOT MOVE until they took and X Ray. Once they did and they saw the coin - there were big shennanigans while they rushed around to do the emergency op to remove the half penny. Wonder what ever happened to it. It was the kind of thing my Mum would have KEPT for posterity. I have always known - if she had fed me and put me to bed I would not be writing this email - and always been convinced - that it was the hole in the half penny that kept me breathing.

I wanted to ask you if you were able to do a small job for me that is if you do this type of work, I have a silver medal which I want the name removed on the back so that it is left blank would it be possible to do this and and could you give an estimated cost?

Hello again Chris. Just to let you know that my wife's ring arrived safely today and that she is very pleased with it. Also, when my daughter saw how neatly it had all been done, the two rings, she asked me to ask you if you could do a repair to one of hers.It is a dress ring with a setting of small diamonds and sapphires. Part of the setting that holds a sapphire has broken off and needs to be rejoined to the main setting. If this could be done Chris, I was wondering if at the time of rejoining the setting for the sapphire they, the settings, could be strengthened in some way.Looking forward to your reply. Regards. Ron
