What is Siam Sterling?

 This website explains it really well. https://salamanderalley.com/blogs/under-the-leaves/what-is-siam-sterling-jewelry


Read the article here: 

WHAT IS IT

Siam sterling jewelry is sterling silver jewelry made in Thailand and depicts the characters of mythology and from the Ramakien (the Thailand national story) as well as the story of Mekhala and Ramasoon. It was manufactured with two different combinations - Sterling / Niello and Sterling / Enamel. For our purposes here, I will be focusing on Niello.

WHAT IS NIELLO

It is the black part of the Siam Sterling jewelry and can be confused with Damascene. Niello is made from silver, copper, sulphur, lead and ammonium chloride. It is applied while Damascene is not.

Damascene is the art of inlaying one metal into another with the black base usually being a black oxidized steel.

WHEN WAS SIAM STERLING JEWELRY MADE

It was made from approximately 1926 until 1989.  I know, not what a lot of people think when they see the word 'Siam', falsely thinking that this name dates the piece.

What differentiates the pieces is by how they are marked.  Here is a general guideline for marks:

No markings - 1926 - 1935
Sterling - 1926 - 1946
Siam Silver - late 1940s
Handmade in Siam - Early 1950s
Made in Siam - 1940s
Siam Sterling - Early 1950s - mid 1960s
Sterling Thailand - 1965 to present

The bulk of the jewelry made has been made since 1965. 

IS IT ALL HAND ENGRAVED

No.  Some is hand engraved while some is stamped and in a few VERY rare cases, it was cast. Often it is a mixture of stamped sterling and finishing touches are hand done.  

Take a 10x loupe and view the indentations of the design inside the Niello area. If it is hand carved the deepest part of the line will be sharp, not rounded.  Check more than one line.

Often the piece is stamped and then the open work edge is finished off (enhanced) by hand. The most common pieces are stamped.

WHAT'S IT WORTH

That is a loaded question and it depends on what you have.  If you have one of the small lightweight link bracelets marked Siam Sterling...not much.  If you have a small narrow bracelet marked Sena...then you have something.

Obviously all the jewelry has worth dependent upon the price of silver.  What adds worth above and beyond the silver is the design, the workmanship, the rarity, and how it is marked. 

These are my favorite makers and I'm willing to pay more for these names...

Thai Nakon
Margrett
Sena
Alex & Co
Yap Kui Kee
Ratanabha
Amfarco

One more comment on worth - that is suites (sets).  These are rare and expect to pay well for them.  Most of the jewelry made was made to be sold as individual pieces.

// Redirect initial login straight away to orders page like Walmart

// 

add_action('template_redirect', 'redirect_to_orders_from_dashboard' );

 

function redirect_to_orders_from_dashboard(){

 

if( is_account_page() && empty( WC()->query->get_current_endpoint() ) ){

wp_safe_redirect( wc_get_account_endpoint_url( 'orders' ) );

exit;

}

 

}



This works but unable to use with with RMA plugin as it looks for dashboard to load.

    How To: Clear Clogged HP Workforce Printer Head

    Ok, So we haven't been using most of the colours from the HP Workforce 4720 and only using black. Which caused the printer head (colours) to clog. Watched 2 youtube videos and decided we will do the same.

    Youtube videos watched and to copy:

    https://youtu.be/Qtnd8xO9g9Y

    I also read this article: https://blog.inkjetwholesale.com.au/printer-maintenance/blocked-printer-head-printer-head-cleaning-process-explained/


    The basic ideas from the 2 videos are:

    1. Print Head Nozzle Check, which colours are having nozzle problem?
    2. Try the Printer's maintenance - clean nozzle head. Are the nozzles still clogged after this?
    3. Get the printer head in a loose mode (not stuck in "home"). Put the printer to print and immediately plug the power off.
    4. Remove the ink cartridges and in saran wrap (this method can keep the ink for a while).
    5. Create an absorbent below the printer head. Use a Kitchen towel that has been folded into the same size and move the printer head above it (lift it up and slide it to the right).
    6. Push warm (almost hot) liquid through each individual noozle. Use a medication dispenser syringe with a tube stuck to the front.
    7. LOOP: Keep changing the kitchen towel at the bottom and keep pushing warm liquid into each noozle until the liquid runs clear as seen on the kitchen towel.
    8. Put everything back. 
    9. Print Head Noozle Check.


    WHAT I DID:
    1. Put the printer to COPY and immediately plug the power off.
    2. Remove the ink cartridges & soft vacuum pack then seal quickly before it ends.
    3. Use a Kitchen towel that has been folded into the same size and move the printer head above it (lift it up and slide it to the right).
    4. Use a baby medicine dispenser syringe and keep the adaptor at the front. It is the perfect size for the noozle, see fig. 1.
    5. Push warm (almost hot) WATER through each individual noozle. I did not want to use any solution and took the advice from inkjetwholesale article to use either water / alcohol so as not to damage the sponge underneath. Warm to almost hot water worked wonders for me. 
    6. I use 4ml water for each noozle every single time. In order to keep the water from flowing out and/or flowing into the pan, I find 4ml the best. 
    7. I use 4ml water for 2 noozles and then change the kitchen towel underneath. I find this the most efficient method as the kitchen towel is not soaked through (which will then be hard to remove as it will be all soggy) and yet utilises the kitchen towel to its best maximum capacity. 
    8. LOOP: Keep changing the kitchen towel at the bottom and keep pushing warm liquid into each noozle until the liquid runs clear as seen on the kitchen towel.
    9. Let the printer to dry for 24 hours.
    10. Put all the cartridges & power back.  
    11. Print Head Noozle Check.

    BUT the next day, I still couldn't print! So I followed the instructions from this article: https://bchtechnologies.com/blog/how-to-fix-blocked-or-clogged-epson-printhead-nozzles-cleaning-and-unclogging-tips/

    SO... In the end I caved and bought a universal print head cleaning kit for $14 and it works wonders!

    NOTE: To make sure this doesn't happen again in the future, print one full colour page at least once a week.

    Passover: Matzah Ball Soup

    Here's what we have successfully made because:
    1. Need to be kosher for passover
    2. Need to cater to our eggs & dairy allergy


    Put all these ingredients into the Instant Pot & slow cook for 48 hours or less

    Chicken Stock
    • 1 4–5-lb. chicken, cut into 8 pieces
    • 1 pound chicken wings, necks, and/or backs
    • 2 large yellow onions, unpeeled, quartered
    • 6 celery stalks, cut into 1" pieces
    • 4 large carrots, peeled, cut into 1” pieces
    • 1 large parsnip, peeled, cut into 1” pieces
    • 1 large shallot, quartered
    • 1 head of garlic, halved crosswise
    • 6 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
    • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns

    Not using eggs for the matzah ball is hard!! Everything crumbles... Don't even try with flaxseed because... is it kitniyot??

    So we modified the recipe from https://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/vegan-matzo-ball-soup/ for the matzo balls.

    Matzo Balls:
    • (4 teaspoons egg replacer OR 1/4 cup potato starch) + 3/4 cup warm water 
    • 1 cup matzo meal
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon dried dill OR 2 tablespoons fresh dill
    • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
    • 2 teaspoons safflower oil
    • 2 tablespoons water
    Like you would with baking, add dry ingredients together. Add wet ingredients into dry ingredients. You should have a thick batter. Because I'm lazy, I did it a day earlier and kept it overnight in the fridge. 

    Makes 10 to 13 balls

    Note to self: When boiling matzah balls, remove the matzah balls immediately when when they float and put aside or else they will crumble.
