  • Note: This page is also linked to from list of hobbies. I hope to add more information on handmade homemade jewelry or jewelry making as a hobby. Userafw (talk) 15:38, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] To Merge or Not to Merge

If jewellery making is merged with this article, I would recommend that it not be merged with Jewellery. Knowledge of the term lapidary is assumed in the main article, whereas a definition is explicitly laid out in this article. Also, I believe handmade jewelry is a completely different category from jewelry manufacture, which may also be covered eventually under jewellery making. Unfortunately, I do not myself currently know enough about jewelry manufacture to supply that information. 24.22.219.38 (talk) 21:37, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

  • I Just edited this topic to be about hand made jewelry, which is jewelry made by hand, whether it be copper wire or diamonds and platinum. It is not a genre, it's a method. I'd propose that if a topic about homemade jewelry or jewelry as a hobby is wanted, that it be started and put the rest of that there. I will bow to the Wiki gods if there is disagreement, but what was there was not appropriate, in my mind - in a hobby jewelry topic, yes. Handmade is no electricity - why lapidary is included is a mystery, plus why it's even in this topic is a bigger mystery. I'm pro jeweler, BTW.Jjdon (talk) 00:42, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
