Well, here are my beginning stone setting efforts. This is my second attempt learning from the Don Glaser dvd, and these are stones 2, 3, 4, 5 out of my bag of 10. I need to hurry and get some more ordered. It started out as practice on a scrap peice of silver, then I ended up with 4 in a row, and decided not to waste it too much, so I cut is out and made a necklace out of it. I have alot of new found respect for stone setters, but this doesn't look too shabby from a few feet away. I think the beads all ended up too far onto the stones, and my bright cuts and clean up around the beads and stones are sure going to need plenty of practice. Thanks all of you for the good advice on my first attempt yesterday. The second pic is of the back, and as you can see I used a peice of silver from a botched braclett. I probably shouldn't even post until I get about a 100 set, but I figgured someone might enjoy my progress. Don't hold back, Seth
