To celebrate a year of doing the most expensive hobby ever, I tried my hand at doing a Portuguese cut. Sadly the veils weren't obvious until I started cutting, but I hate throwing things away so I just followed through to the end. Design is Round Portuguese Cut by Justin K. Prim, in amethyst
Cheers! This was another gem show bargain bucket, aimed at new agers, find. I can't complain too much for the amount I paid!
