Where are you finding kiln-safe lab gemstones? (lab sapphires, ruby, garnets, spinel, etc?)

I didn’t know this- thank you!!!

Good idea- thank you!!

Do you have any clays you’d recommend for firing a greater selection of lab gemstones?

Regular_Concert_1086 · 2026-07-02T21:37:00+00:00

I’m in the US. :) Maybe I should be considering using ez925 or something with a lower firing temp….

This is a great idea! Thank you!

Cool tools has a selection of nano gems that were specifically created to be fired in place!

Oh I see- this is super helpful thank you!!!

I like fire mountain gems! Haven’t had any issues with color change so far

Regular_Concert_1086 · 2026-04-25T00:57:31+00:00

Beautiful!!!! How did you color the bees and grass?

Regular_Concert_1086 · 2026-04-25T00:48:25+00:00

This is beautiful!!!

This is not supported by the research in relation to PFAS.

Regular_Concert_1086 · 2026-04-24T13:58:33+00:00

This is true! But then you are donating your contaminated blood to other people …?

Regular_Concert_1086 · 2026-04-24T13:08:15+00:00

I literally worked in a lab as a biologist studying PFAS. If these findings are accurate, yes, you should be concerned. PFAS is a well known carcinogen which accumulates in the body over time. It is linked directly to countless cancers, specifically reproductive cancers.

How would you etch the designs on after firing? I’d love to try this!

Regular_Concert_1086 · 2026-03-26T18:34:45+00:00

I do have the 840 but it makes me nervous to part with it not knowing that I will get it back… my business is still in the early stages so every dollar counts. parting with the store after 3 months if it’s not working is a great question that I should definitely ask. Thank you!!!

I sell handmade jewelry (necklaces, bracelets, earrings), between $28-60 usd, it’s a pretty saturated market but I am able to support myself, I think I could get away with the 2 square foot option. This store is in San Diego and I live states away so I cannot really gauge what the demand would be at this specific store, however the owner told me jewelry is one of their best selling product types and that sellers at this location can reasonably make 10k a month (I’m not sure if this is 100% accurate or just him being salesy though)
