If you feel so inclined, you could do a bit more burnishing with a mini burnisher, made from an old burr with the head broken off. Going round and round will perfect the margins. Dennis.
I've just done my first flush settings too, using 1.5mm moissanites and silver - glad I didn't start out with diamonds and gold, as mine don't look as good as yours yet. I think I'll spend a bit of time making a decent burnisher along the lines of your model, Dennis - thanks for the tip - and work on mine a bit more.
Good effort and Im sure you're daughter will cherish it, especially as its handmade.
I really struggled with flush setting until it just finally 'clicked', helped along a great deal by the excellent advice given on this forum. I still have to concentrate fully when flush setting, but once you've got the basics masterered then its not so daunting.
As Dennis has said though, perhaps a little more burnishing would be a good idea to smooth out the angles.
I've noticed that if I polish a bit hard with a soft mop after I have gypsy set stones, the edge can become a bit 'smudged' and not look as crisp as it did before the polishing.
The effect looks similar to the photo posted.
