Not my greatest set of pictures! New phone camera is bit more complicated then point and click but I guess you get the idea of shape.
I tried to shape the collet inwards in the hope it...
Hey guys, I'm still here, still learning and I feel making progress!
Last year was really a trial by fire and I feel I really improved over the course of it, this year I am pushing to expand my...
Ok I will start! This was a commission for an Xmas pressie based on fairy lights. It was for a gran who cohldnt see all to well so colour was really a big thing.

The ring is sterling and...
So I have started something a bit more fancy then my usual bits, let's see where and how it goes.
Have not got a great deal of progress shots but will try to take some to keep this thread...
Both the ring and the daughter are beautiful!
That was my reasoning however I have an arrestor coming now just in case.
However it needs to be said...
**** the bed those steel rings are incredible!
That's all.
Fair enough mate.
Looking at pre assembled sievert kits and none come with an arrestor, further muddying of the waters...
Ok, but still not clear. This talks about fitting them when using oxygen in conjunction with fuel gases, not just propane.
The problem I have is that I only have a little bottle with a 4 bar maximum...
Hey guys, I have just got my hands on an orca propane torch, I have my propane bottle and reg all set up.
There's just one stumbling point... Do I need a flash back arrestor?
My understanding is...

This is my entry, its a commission pendant and ear ring set I have made for a customer.
Its pretty damn summery I would say.
Its features 3 oval citrine and a whole bunch of c/z
Thanks Dennis, i dont imagine I will ever be employing people with regards to the jewellery. It might be that I actually make it my profession if I can find someone daft enough to hire me!
So I finished this off today (although now I have photographed it I can see a few dinks that need sorting out)
It been a busy few weeks and my little brand seems to be going from strength to...
Thank you Wallace hopefully the customers like them aswell. I'm in love with your graduation pendant.
It's been a fun road to travel sarah, luckily I can be some what stubborn in the face of failure...
I am very proud of this piece, if 18 months ago someone told me i would be selling pieces and making commissions I wouldnt of believed them, now I turn up eternity rings in my spare moments between...

this is my entry, its had gold tube settings and decals. Features 3 gold balls and 3 garnets.
Bending that stuff into a ring is going to be mad, I had to bend 4mm and that was bad enough!
Dont be sorry for advice guys! I will give it more polish and check it out under different light, having more then one set of eyes is handy to spot flaws I may gloss over
I always expect to have to...
I imagine its my terrible photo skills as it's been polished up to white lux, I am not well known for my photography skills!
So just recently I have really been pushing myself to improve. I have my sponsor mark all set up and I am doing craft fairs so I really want my work to be of a high standard.
This moissanite ring I...
Sofina, I have been teaching myself how to set and build mounts for the last year.
Honestly if I can teach myself (and without sounding arrogant I feel im getting half decent) I imagine you will be...
So I have taken the plunge and registered for my hall mark!
I am rather excited!
My question is this, can I use my hallmark for different things?
Ie on buisness cards or as a shop logo? I was...
The first one took about a week of trail and error, the second was about 5 hours from ingot to final polish
And just because I had some spare stones today I made a half eternity and took progress shots....
Thank you guys, I am rather proud of it. As always there is room for improvement
