WHATS NEW:
Sept 28th, 2020: As a self taught programmer, some would say hacker, updating can be tough to swallow. Often, everything you learned has to be tossed to 'progress'. Wordpress is a wonderful modern tool for tablet and cellphone viewing. Html (like this side of my site), not so much. However, html is solid as a rock and great for desktops. That being said I have decided to update my custom galleries on the html side as well as the Worpress side of my site too. I hope you enjoy it too.
July 25: The new wordpress site of www.bellchamber.net is up and the page you are looking at is officially archived. Any links you have will need to have '/old/' added to the end at the end to view ie (..hamber.net/old/cata....)
July 9th: Posted a photo of a Dutch Button ring in solid 14K gold onto the last row of the Custom gallery 20A. It was a lot of work with many weld points. It is also known as a Zeeland ring.
July 2nd: We are open by appointment. Please call or email to book a consultation or for pick up or your jewellery. When you arrive masks are mandatory due to the emergency. Thank you! If you have a repair, taking a couple of photos and emailing us can expedite the process for you.

May 11th 2020: We are nearly 2 months into the emergency measures here in Canada and it's working. I hope you are staying safe.

We are not, we are open for consultation.
