Bam! 1, 2, 3! and on with the next one; this man is a carving Machine! This hook looks great Flynny. Could be sitting in a shop in NZ; style & quality-wise you are easily matching the jewellery of its type here (& better than a heap Ive seen too!) Ka pai!

I would suggest revisiting the place you got it from to pick their brains further, but if they've misidentified/mislead in the first place they're probably not going to be of any further help... It's all part of the learning curve young Jadi.
