Did a earring pendant set im calling a simple stacked. Working my way towards some slanted angle cut combinations. The earrings were first and intended to be 1/2 round or a bit domed but after multiple sanding jobs they ended up flats 🤷‍♂️. Both sides are finished and no backing. Attempting to get the scratches out of the Pet p was an issue. Im used to applying a little more pressure when using the Genie but now the flat lap is the main focus and wasn’t used much in the past. Howlite, PetP & Blk Jade. Still need to drill, peg n post a bail for the pendant

The set is stunning!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Actually rockjunquie you are right. I either can’t count or remember…prolly a little of both…lol. This one is maybe my third “intarsia” project. My first was just a few stones with blk jade borders to get the basic hang of flat lapping 90 deg. Then a pend earring set doing the same border only. This one just top and bottom. It does take me multiple multiple trial and errors tho. But, im learning bit by bit. Now i know to stop the lap before picking up or laying the piece down after minus a few finger prints🤣🤣.
