If you are a cutter, show off your work, provide tips and tricks or ask for advice.
If you don’t cut stones, feel free to ask questions!
No selling of stones, rough or anything else. You can however post links to vendors that you recommend.
This is a pyrope garnet set in sterling silver. She did pretty well on this, with only a few mistakes here and there.
Garnets are one of my favorite stones (and I hear beginner friendly, so guess what I'll be doing if I get my own machine lol). Your daughter has excellent taste!
Do you set your own pieces too, or do you work with a jeweler?
Any simple and cheap setting I can do myself. The sterling silver in the picture was around $8. Anything expensive I leave to the experts. 😉
