big green thing

[kraftrourke]

my first show and tell... be honest and unmerciful! Any sort of criticism is helpful to me.

The split band was attempt for something else. I messed up joining the two bands(on the part you can't see) so I used it for this stone my mom had laying around. I don't even know what it is, turquoise?

The thing that bothers me most on all my pieces so far - the very top or inside edge of the bezel (what is that called anyhow?) I can't get it smooth mirror-like. I can always see crappy imperfections at certain angles when the light reflects off that edge. It drives me nuts. I'm going to try sanding the bezel top through all the grits before setting stones on the next rings. Do people do that?

Thanks!
Adam
