Thank you to everyone that came out to last night’s magnet fishing meetup in Fells Point! This was our largest turnout yet!

Notable Finds: 4x Scooters, Shopping Cart, e-Skateboard, Walkie Talkie, Bike Rim, and Large Sections of the Metal Dock Walls

I also took my new ROV which I’ve decided to name “Michael Phelps” for a swim 🏊🏾‍♂️

Yep, Will is a really good jeweler/goldsmith. I had a Rottweiler bite my hand and literally flatten my wedding band into an oval (the ring saved my finger from being broken). It was a repro museum piece with a pattern and engraving. Will was able to salvage it and over-solder it onto a white gold band to make a very classy new ring. I recommend his shop whenever people are looking for something out of the ordinary.

I think the owner/jeweler at Hi-Ho is named Will? He is a gem. We used to take the same yoga classes years ago and he’s such a nice guy. My husband’s wedding band has a complex oak-bark wraparound relief and we needed to take it down a size, but all the jewelers we took it to said it couldn’t be done without leaving a noticeable seam.

Will did it for $75 - and he did it so well, sometimes I just look at it and wonder how? The relief isn’t interrupted, no seam. The ring is just smaller. I think it was maybe actual magic. Hi-Ho is legit.

As I recall, from like way too long ago, Smyth carries pre-owned vintage jewelry, including engagement rings, and I think Nusinov does as well? The advantage being that you could get a vintage setting with a new stone, if you’re having trouble finding a combination you like.

Kidding aside it's good to see this owned up to. I hope the department makes this right by delivering a project consistent with the community's grant so the money isn't lost, as it sounds like that's at risk.
