    You made a good job there, i`d just mention that you don`t need quite so much claw on the stone next time.

    Given this is silver, I wondered if the claws might be a little on the thin side for security?

    Maybe, but it all depends on how it gets treated.

    I always assume the worst

    I surprised someone the other week by not being terribly sympathetic about them losing a diamond out of their ring.
    In their horse's stable.

    What's going to happen when you start knocking out that micro pave?

    Maybe I'll need to rely on glue after all

    I`m sure you`ll do a great job, it`s finding a sensible customer that might be the tricky part.

    Peter will have to start giving lessons! Yeah, I can pavé like a sofa can swim!

    But, I have put my efforts into flush, tube and channel settings. The gravers (scorpiers, bull stick etc) no longer worry me.. I have green and horse tape for my fingers and some great heat shrink for the shafts on them just that darned little setting - I can raise the grains and even do that sideways grain if needed (recent repair - I was very chuffed), but for all of that lovely work, I can't get a single clean line no matter how sharp my flat graver is and the setting becomes rubbish.

    If I could go down the air-graver route I would.

    Might be able to give you an idea to try for that but best start a new thread? this one has already gone abit of target (probably my fault)
    Then someone else can find it easier.

    :-) It was mostly for a now-and-then ring, so hopefully will be ok. The stone rose up in some alarming angles too, see I was overcautious in some ways and under in others!
    Thanks though. If I had a horse, I'd *always* muck out with m'diamonds on...
