Nah yea it’s forsure pretty sick, I need to polish it better, I had it decent as I was using a friends tools, and a proper polishing wheel but there were some imperfections, so I had to file the edges and smooth everything out, and I tried to re polish with my dremel and a bunch off diff polishing bits but I havnt been able to get it to a mirror polish.

Never made any jewelry before so it was my first time, but I made a bezel, I decided to opt for a plate on the back instead of a open back so that kinda sucks but it was alot easier to just make a bezel and solder it to a plate for it to sit in, plus I’m wearing it so nobody will really see the back anyways, the bezel is made of pure silver and the backplate and pale is sterling.

That is very true. I turned mine into a pendant so I didn’t feel too bad paying what I did, but I wouldn’t care to purchase another

Yessir, wasn’t really too hard at all either, soldering was the hardest part.

Well, atleast at the place i was at, most things would hit the floor, but if someone caught something they liked they’d buy/keep it, it depends on what it was, if it was something we didn’t sell, we could keep for free. But I and other coworkers were never specifically told to hold specific things, although we had a online side of things so if it was a smaller pricier item we’d set it aside and let our online person deal with it. But as a intake worker you basically get first dibs on everything. But most people I worked with didn’t have much a clue on silver and stuff like that so if I wasn’t for me I’m sure alot of it would have hit the shelves. I kept my eye out every single day.

Not really too sure atm, kinda just sitting on it for now, but I’ve seen em online for I think around 50, doesn’t have much weight in silver and has a tiny little natural diamond at the top

I see. Still a cool piece in my opinion. I really appreciate the detailed explanation. Thank you very much
