some pendants stuff......

Goldstone, looks better in real life where the "gold" sparkles.


Better photo



End view to show dome achieved on flat lap (especially for Stu)



Tiger eye cab



Cab next to setting



Cab test fit in setting



Finally a freeform opal and setting, opal just lodged on the setting but needs some final shaping to fit correctly as the bezel moved a tad whilst soldering.



Till next time
cheers

Nice goldstone greeny thanks for showing what can be done on a flat lap.

you know what.... I have just clicked the second picture down and realised it goes to a blown up picture again, and if you look at the light reflection on the right side you can still see some little facets that I missed. Whilst they cannot be seen with the naked eye and the stone looks wonderfully evenly curved I now realise I need to look at my finishing again.

Bloody cameras.........

Nice pieces, and am i correct in thinking you polished all of these on the flat lap?

Seriously I'm pleased to see what could be achieved with my little used flat lap

My machine has a height adjustable outer ring (water catcher) so I can stop the cerium spraying me (mostly!)
