What jewelry store would not love to have those on display? Very, very professional, more like art than craftsmanship, Z. A++

absolutely stunning, Zotika...i can't pick a favorite, they are all amazing. the precision of the matching teardrops is astonishing. i really like those settings for the rounds...do you find them locally or order them online?

Thank you all. You are too kind. You are going to spoil me. Liz, I think that those earrings are around 3mm thick where they are drilled. Dave, you can bet on that. When I am back home with some finished pieces my wife always starts – "this one is for me, and this one, ooh, and this one is just going to fit with my new dress..." But that jade set is made for someone else. Fluorite heart is made for her. Actually, she adores fluorite and picked a little slab while we were in Budapest at rock fair, last summer. She waited considerably. But now I am preparing surprise, from leftovers of that fluorite slab I am making earrings for her. Dave, that black jade is in fact Blue Olive Jade. I still didn't get the chance to cab that King Black jade that you also sent me. I am keeping it for dessert. That Blue Olive Jade is undercutting a bit, not much. When forking with diamonds all the way from rough grind to polish (100, 220, 600, 1200, 3000 and 14000g) it works fine. I just love it. KD, yes, I find those round setting locally from one local jeweler (he makes them). He also makes me rectrangular shape and oval with cramps (25x18 mm). Unfortunately, he works wery slow. At this point I have only that round setting. goofie1, unfortunately, that heart is taken by my wife. Also it couldn't get to States in such short period. It takes about 2 to 3 weeks if everything works fine. I would be glad to make another heart for you, but you should be patient person. Thank you all. Zoran
