Re: Today's work.
Very nice as usual Daniel. What graver do you use most when trimming along the edges and general setting work of the diamonds? Doug

Re: Today's work.
Hi Doug,
I use a hand ground carbide graver that must be around 55degrees. Not sure but the 70degree bulino graver from the templates was to wide. The stone's are between 1 and 1.3 mm wide. This ring I did not make myself. I could have, but don't thik I could have come up with the design myself. It is silver and a bezel of 18kt yellow gold. The topstone ways about 60ct, Ametrine quartz. Bezel about 0.8mm thick. Chris, Don't know why the pictures don't show for you. I allso put them on my album. Greetings, Daniel

Re: Today's work.
I really like your stonesetting. Being a jeweler myself I can attest to your craftsmanship especially setting a big stone like this. Beautiful work!

Re: Today's work.
Thanks Steve,
No they are not married. I convinced the ring that she was a better mach for someone else. I just don't want to see my Palm Controle unhappy :yesnod: Doug, i also used a hand made carbide flat graver to get ridd of the material in between the beads to be. And a push flatgraver to devide the barrs between the stone's into equaly large beads and push them over the stone in the same action. Last a beading tool in the Lindsay. I love the beads to hold 2 stone's each but then I would have needed about 20 stone's more. Thank you Jeff! That really a big compliment coming from a colleague! Any chance of seeing some of your work? Jerry, indeed Top Heavy! Greetings and thanks for looking. Daniel

Re: Today's work.
I can see it in your gallery but not in the thread. Hummm (scratch scratch)
Fantastic work Daniel. All your rings are excellent. by the way.... I looked up Katie Melua. That's a good one I should have picked up on because it's just my kind of humor.
