Glass repair job on a antique clock face?
I inherited a very nice gold-toed art deco clock recently. Due to a terrible moving accident, the face of the clock which is a large circular piece of thin clear glass cracked/split in two. How do I even go about trying to get this fixed? The clock is little but very heavy (5-7 pounds I am guessing) and I would prefer not to have to ship it as the shipping costs would be hefty alone & that would not include the price to get this split on the clock's face fixed furthermore. I live about 40 min south of Ithaca, NY anybody know of either a particular or just a general place I can go to? In advance, thank you for answering this inquiry 
Call several glass companies and explain to them that you have an antique clock (I assume the glass has no bubbles in the actual glass?) If you still have the glass - that would be even better - take it in to the glass companies to show them what kind of glass it is - they can usually order the replacement glass and install it for a small fee. Make sure it is the same kind of glass that was in there to begin with - or at least something very similar or it will bring down the value of the clock itself. If the glass companies cannot get the glass in from a local place - see if they can order it from the only place I know that carries that type of glass - it's in Cocoa Beach, Florida that they can get it from... If they cannot install it to the original way (without altering the framing around on the clock to install the glass) , take the piece of glass that they got for you to a local clock master and have them install it!

To make rose gold jewelry, usually 25 percent copper is blended with 75 percent pure gold. To get darker red coloration, more copper is mixed in the precious metal. Thus, the jewelers can get different hues by lowering or increasing the copper proportion. Clearly, there are many varieties of engagement rings of rose gold that to choose from.

Gradually, engagement rings with rose gold as a metal are finding place amongst designer rings. This is making the rings more available in the collection of the jewelers. So far, such rings have been rare to find.
Besides, antique shops, online retail jewelers can also be searched for the jewelry. Due to increasing popularity of antique jewelry, you can buy these rings online as well. but you may need to make an extensive search on internet for right prices.
Affordable rings
As copper is a cheaper alloy than silver, prices of rose gold engagement rings should be lower amongst all the rings. But that may not be the case always. This is because still rose gold rings are rare jewelry. While searching for these jewelries do not be surprise on the prices.
However, more and more people making these rings as their preferred choices, the production is increasing, resulting in lower prices. Now, you are more likely to purchase them cheaper than ever before.
