Pioneering settings Dave.
High def, at magnification. shows bacteria.
Jewelry folks have the patience of Job, lots of work making metal connections and ground parts look seamless under magnification. Intimidating task.
Defects negligible under human eyes though.

It's not like jewelry never gets dinged up just wearing it around.

That's a great looking piece Dave, I have to start doing more prong settings. The cameras today are brutal. They really do show marks that you can not see or hardly see with the naked eye. Never the less they are awesome machines now. Problem is I "think" a lot of folks don't realize it and think our work is poor craftman(woman)ship. Some of the items I have listed on etsy look bad but in hand are pretty damb nice.
I wish I had your artistic flair for thinking outside the box. Love the setting and the Rock is rockin

That's really impressive, tho' I'm not sure why you've used round and square? The cab is sitting beautifully tight and looks fab. The prongs detract a little. They can be really short so long as the cab is covered. This is small-fry it is the overall effect that is important

They can be really short so long as the cab is covered. This is small-fry it is the overall effect that is important thank you.prong settings are my thing.most of my pieces are set in heavier ga.material,hense the need for prongs.i do bezel sets on occasion I just feel as though they feel chinsy,not to bag on the style,I just like the feel of a lot of silver in my pendants.i will be exploring more options in the near future when my kiln and vacuum caster is set up next month when I finish my studio. Thanks again Dave
