This is a prize made for a breast cancer awareness fundraiser raffle. I have to confess to finding it a lot harder to set the tiny (1.7mm) ruby than I do the larger stones I usually work with - a combination of fat fingers and failing eyesight I suspect. Hope I can do a bit better the next time! I think having the right size burrs might have helped as well - I didn't realise how few small ones I had, so there was a bit of improvisation involved!

Apologies for less than brilliant pictures - I'm experimenting with a new lighting setup and haven't got the settings quite right yet. I really wish I could see the imperfections the camera shows up before I take the pictures though!
