A piece I am very pleased with
I was not going to show this piece for the simple reason I did not have the confidence to set the stones. I have tried to flush set and cannot get the hang of it.
I was looking through the forums for info on scrap and came across a thread about setting diamonds in silver. I was most encouraged when I saw a comment from Dennis, whom I admire greatly for his help here and for the lovely work he shows, which said in effect that there was no shame in getting the help of a stone setter. Well I did, 13 little diamonds total of 1.14 carat into this nautilus shell design of my own.
I have one of those fossil slices of a nautilus on which I based the cutting.
I have only been working with silver since about March and to date this is my favourite piece.
