I googled them and found this: http://www.graphite24.de/epages/es20...948/Categories Is this the site you were talking about?

Love their tools, but haven't figured out how to see the site in English yet. It's the only language on the upper left that it WON'T translate to!

Can someone explain to me how the Ammoniteplate "little-lovelys-design" is used? I love the design but not sure how you would use it.

I got one of their Ammonite presses-I received it fast, and it arrived very well-packed and beautiful! Great service, great prices!


Angie, I made a large round bead and flattened it a bit, then heated up each side and pressed it into the ammonite plate. I'll try to post the picture I took of it.

Ditto! Highly recommend. Why is it the European country peeps are so good with English and we Americans (as a general rule) suck so bad at other languages? All of my emails to G24 were answered in perfect English!!!!

Because English is mandatory in German schools starting with 5th grade

Not a great picture, because it's too shiny for the background. Anyway, Double helix Clio.

A great company to deal with - I requested a custom made graphhite beadroller from them, described the shapes I wanted, and they sent me an excellent drawing for my approval before I went ahead with the order. The custom made beadroller (3 slim teardrops for long, delicate earrings) ended up costing around US$70 including postage from Germany.

Very pleased with this company so far, will post again once I get the beadroller and put it through its paces.

Cheers!

Please post pics of your earrings. I have been awaiting for that design, and I think that they will be lovely.

Thank you
