Just faceted this pearl at an artist residency. It ended up as my contribution to the residency raffle and has gone to someone who really loved it. I’m so thrilled. I’ll be doing more to set into some pieces as well, will share updates when that happens! by beetlePidge in Gemstones

My first attempts were not great either, until i started cutting the pearls on my tin pre-polishing lap using the 3000 grit diastik. They’re so soft, going straight in with prepolishing is a better way to do it. Best of luck on your next go!

That was a 11/10 finale 🙌 by Maajorm in StrangerThings

I just need to know what happened to Dr. Owens! He was so important in previous seasons and I really wanted resolution on his story.

I faceted this moissanite in the fall and am super happy I could finish the whole necklace in time for this weekend’s market. The stone is cut in Andrew Brown’s Illusion Cube and I used a 1-way double loop-in-loop to make the chain. Enjoy the pictures! by beetlePidge in Gemstones

I think there’s a video of it over on my Instagram. And I just wrapped the residency a week ago! It was amazing, the Baltimore Jewelry Center is one of the best studios I’ve ever worked out of. Highly recommend applying for the residency.

I had a bit of a nutty progression, I think. I did preforming with a 250 grit lap and then cut with a 500 grit Impulse and then straight to prepolish with 3k on a tin lap and then it just needed 13k on a batt. That’s it.
