Have got myself some blank findings so i can start to set some of my stones. The first couple seem to have come out ok.   |

Cheers Harry, it did slip a little and is slightly off center, though it is hard to notice and will be left that way. It is good to finally see a few of the stones in settings. Just hope the people they will be given to like them  |

Love your work mate, I've seen some try and honestly they don't come close to looking as good as yours. But as you know beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  |

I have a lot of gemstones and un polished opal and agate.
might have to get you to supply me with the necessary findings and settings.
I should have completed all my tasks before my sight failed me

G'day Scott, i would be more than willing to try and help get some findings to suit your stones.
If you could shoot me a PM with some details of sizes, shape and what you are after like silver or base metals, we can work from there.

Thankyou guys. Just basic bits at the moment to get started, but there is something very satisfying about cutting and polishing a stone or gem from start to finish and seeing it set. I still have a long way to go to catch up to your bits Mac.
