Just a question - It seems from your website your THING is more cosmetics than silver. Why did you come on here and choose to market the silver more than the cosmetics? I thought you were one of the regular silver stores along road 9, but instead you are the cosmetics store over Pizza Hut, aren't you? Remind me where your store is if I'm wrong.

Hi Debbie, I am in the buliding near Pizza Hut, above baskin robins and Koweidar. did you visit my shop.
I sell Silver as i sell perfumes and cosmetics. I do my own silver and precious stones necklesses, i sell pendants, chocks, bracelets, rings and earings. i have desings that u dont find at the regular shops in road 9 as i have my own workshop where i do my own desings.
Starting from tomorrow till end of the week i am exhibiting my silver collection out of the shop so if you desire to see my collection please pass by the end of the week. now you will find a small collection only. Regards,

Hi! It is wonderful to meet you! I just checked your web page, and I really liked the two pieces pictured. Are they yours? It is unfortunate that you don't have more examples! A comment about wording ... In english, "silverware" means forks, knives and spoons - not jewelry.
I run a similar business, except that I don't have the time to get to making my own originals - do feel free to check out our horrificly bad web page, www.amberhue.com
Do you have a registered trademark for your pieces? Do these marks exist in Egypt? Is sterling or 999 commonly used? (I'm given to understand that gold karats are not the same there ... is it true that 22K is almost exclusively used?) Do you make molds of some of your pieces for reproduction?
Now, I have a thought for you, and perhaps we could brainstorm a little. I am internet friends with the lady who runs S.P.A.R.E. (In fact, if I could find a way to Egypt, I'd end up volunteering there on Day 2.) I made a suggestion to her which I am not certain that she understood. I had wanted to make S.P.A.R.E. pins - which (insert marketing and educational explanation here.)Egyptian ladies wear many pins - and it could be a marvelous tourist seller too. However, my arabic consists of a verbal "aiwa, la, inshalla, & eeb!" I have no idea how S.P.A.R.E. translates into arabic; that or some of her cool islamic proverbs.
How would you feel about designing something like this? There are problems that need to be worked out, obviously. I'm cash poor but metal rich. I'm in Canada and the mail services are supposedly poor. Maybe we could work something out together?
Let me know! You can either reply here, or find my business email through the web page.

In American English "silverware" means knives and forks, in British English silver or silver-plated knives and forks could be refer to as "the silver" or "cutlery" (which is a more generic term covering non-silver knives and forks too). "Silverware" could be used in British English to mean items made out of silver.

LOL Newcomer.... I was thinking the same thing when I read that about "silverware".. figured it must be a British English vs American/Canadian English thing.
