I am currently setting up a jewellery business and i have posession
of an archive of usuable contemporary moulds, which are from a previous employer, so i can replicate all the companies jewellery designs if i wished!
is it legitimate to use these moulds under my own company name which have no copyright on them, or safer to adapt the wax replica to make it similar but not exactly like the previous companies designs?.
i am hoping to bypass the system as each item i sell has a certain percentage deducted for using the previous companies designs.

Copyright exists automatically. Copyright is not something that has to be claimed or registered. A jewellery design (or any other design) is automatically protected by law. However, the mere fact that the company charges people who use its moulds a fee shows that they are well aware of that fact and will no doubt have a good procedure in place to ensure that they get what they are owed.

In fact, if the moulds were taken from your previous employer, not only are you stealing the design by using them without paying the royalty, you are also using stolen moulds.

You will be in very deep **** if the mould company or your previous employer find out.

Texting is private and intimate. Texting is the perfect way to create a private and intimate world between you and the man or woman in your life. Learn here https://tr.im/gfmrY
For women in particular, texting can end up being a fun “game” where they can do or say anything (even things they would never do in the “real” world). Texting is non confrontational. Odds are your relationship ended on a heated note. I don’t know why you and your ex broke up, but there was probably at least one (if not a few dozen) big fights. Done properly (the way I’m going to teach you), texting is simple and subtle. You can slowly feed your ex tested and proven messages and ideas without the risk of either one of you flying off the handle, falling back into old and destructive patterns, and throwing plates at each other.

If it hasnt been copyrighted, it is fair game. There are other "laws" that might apply such as aggreements you may have signed when working for that company involving competition and the work "belonging" to the company and whatnot. You would be good to consult a lawyer to make sure you are in the clear before investing too much time and money in it.
