These Are All Real Projects Requested of a Jeweler

“I’ve been asked about several interesting projects. 1. ‘Can you copy my tattoo design into a ring?’ Yes! 2. ‘Can you create a pendant out of my dog’s teeth?’ Yes! 3. ‘I have some old gold to sell you …’ Oh wow, there’s gold teeth in that bag. I’ll take it, I guess. 4. ‘I read about turning ashes into diamonds. Can you do that?’ Not me. 5. ‘Can I borrow jewelry for my rap video/wedding/photoshoot?’ NO!” — Submitted anonymously to the 2021 Big Survey
