		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes it feels a tad depressing to be working in a field where the cost of your materials is down to the sometimes extreme whims of a market which has absolutely nothing to do with what you make.

		<description><![CDATA[Ever wondered what half a kilogram of sterling silver looks like?  Well, okay, you probably haven&#8217;t.  But now you know the answer!

This is actually just under half a kilogram (479g to be exact &#8211; or 1.05 US pounds).  Each of the sheets is 0.5mm thick and approximately 65mm tall and wide (that [...]]]></description>
