    Nice work. I can appreciate the satisfaction in doing it. Not sure I'd feel right wearing it though.

    Which GRS vice is that? Is it the Micro block? How well does it perform underneath a microscope?

    It is a micro block ( Jura's version ), & it works well for small things but not a lot of use for example bangles.
    Some prefer abit bigger heavier versions which all work under a scope providing you set it all up accordingly.

    In case you're wondering why I haven't drilled & cut the metal first like you see on youtube vids these days with a lot of modern beadwork..
    #1 stones aren't very well calibrated
    #2 budget

    Luckily the stones are small enough to get away with traditional bead raising & burnish providing you don't leave any flat areas that would need excess metal "cut up"...
