Default Re: Lindsay or Grs system

Stan,
Wauw, thank you for your compliment.
Stupid thing is that I never showed this pendant to any teacher at the time.
The setting lesson's where not very good alas. I could teach them way better today!
It was the question what to get for my (late) grandmothers birthday. I proposed that if the material was funded I would make the pendant.
After 40 hours I stopped counting them, boy, what a roocky I was:yesnod:

Still want to make one the proper way with gold and diamond's and hopefully this year! With the Lindsay graver.

After seeing your ring I'm in awe. Not about the design though (not my favorite) but the workmanship envolved! Perfect and gruesomly consystant! Could you tell me something about the way you handle your aproache?

Do you cut out the setting's before setting the stone"s?
There is the Other way by setting the stones first and then cutting out the rest. And do you use the tungsten piston for the big removal's?

Thank's again.

Daniel
