With a domain name like that, I guess you're not interested in my usual recommendation of a big Saffire torch. You can swap the mixers on them, so you can run either propane or acetylene, without a big extra cost.
Nice torches, certainly. I'm surprised they're not too big for jewellery work - I use them for lead burning (welding to make roofing parts)
A good place for buying oxy-fuel kit is eBay. Lots of stuff traded, some new, so you afford to just pick the nicer condition stuff. O torches though are a little rare and very sought after, so they're not exactly cheap. OTOH, regulators, hose etc. are a bargain.
Couple of other points I'd suggest are:
- Get propane hose, not acetylene. LPG puts holes in acetylene hose.
- Get a propane regulator. I know you can run a small torch on an acetylene regulator, and you get gauges too, but I don't trust those diaphrams on LPG.
- Get an "economiser". This is a torch hanging hook with a built in gas-shut-off valve and a pilot light. Well worth it for the convenience, if not the gas savings.
