E.B. Harvey Co. Chattanooga TN - The most nostalgic of my jewelry industry experiences. A big (very big) precious metals processing factory, i was young and given huge responsibility which fit well with my passion for understanding and comprehending all technical aspects of jewelry manufacturing, from the dust on the floor to that speck of good clinging to a workers shoe, untill finished merchandise was invoiced, i was to understand and corroborate each step and account for all metal.
---- "Hard times come again no more--
I still stay close and familiar with the pulse of the Numismatic/rare coins, Bullion, Wholesale Jewellery and Manufacturing trades.
I have my own personal love story (i hope everyone does too) met my wife by chance on internet traveled to Iran met her and her family, married, came home, then 2 years later picked her u in Ankara Turkey,
Now, the best is yet to come.....
(I used to be shy and never could write so much)
"And that is,,,,, About Me"
Sometimes i have a thread of humor, a thread, of sarcasm, but never without care and concern,
Anything i do i endeavor to do it well, and to infuse integrity.
(P.S. Bellafonte is a pseudonym i use when in a jovial creative mindset)
