    I imagine in a few years your channel will be huge. I love that you pronounce soldered properly and that you refer to bangles as bangles and not bracelets lol Plus you do what I love to do, I&apos;ve been doing it for years and still have learnt a thing or two from you. You alsoremind me of my favourite sister in law when she was younger.

    I&apos;ve been collecting rolled gold watch chains for a while now, and the best ones are English Victorian; Thomas Hopwood of Birmingham, for example. You can&apos;t tell they&apos;re not solid gold! Much more affordable, but still valuable.
