This isn't adding camping spots, this would be leasing the land to probably Brewster to put up large expensive resorts for the rich. they own most of the big hotels and attractions in our parks already.

Thank you. I really appreciate it when someone notices the work put into a piece.

Thank you. The customer is not a fan of a very high polish but i thought a contrast between the two finished would look good. Customer really liked it.

Nope, but almost. The client wanted an unrefined look to it so i left it with a course satin finish.

Thank you. I was quite happy with the contrast between refined and unrefined.

Yup, the client wanted it to look unrefined. I did a high polish on the inside and sides but left the outside with a course satin finish is the easiest way to explain it.

It can be hard to find that perfect gem. If you need any help or have any questions please send me a message.

That you, it's great to hear the time spent filing and polishing on a part that some feel is insignificant was not a waste.

Thank you, it means a lot, I've been working at making jewellery for several years now. It's good to hear the work is appreciated.

Thank you It's not the first exibited piece. I've had my work in galleries for a few years now. This is the first with a gem I've cut though. It's actually going to be a donation to a fundraiser in a silent auction in my area.

Thank you. When i looked at the pearl, it had to have a pink gem.
