Somthin Pretty
Thaught I would share this very special Mandarin Garnet (Gossular) about
22.0cts in a pendant that is wearable in 3 diffrent configurations. The pendant (pave donut and basket) were done in CAD and Grown in a sterolithogrophy machine. The mechinisim was tapped and board and assembeled by hand. Hope you like it! Anyone interested in learning CAD/CAM and or jewelery skills? Perhaps we can work something out.

Re: Somthin Pretty
That is beautiful! I can't imagine setting all those stones! Or setting one stone , for that matter...
Thanks for showing that. I would love to learn about CAD type software, but my time is all gone right now. take care, Tom

Re: Somthin Pretty
Hi Spike,
Great work! Your CAD/CAM is the jewelers way of the future. So sorry I am such a  with computers.Something like mr Olin, no pushing buttons for me. But happy for you, you know the new ways. Happy for me I know the old and older ways. I do envey you. I can not put myself to learn the computer ways. My workbenche is my holy place. What you have made I can do by hand. You can probably do it quicker and with no waist of gold. Thanks for showing! Daniel

Re: Somthin Pretty
Very cool spike. The stonesetting looks GREAT! Cad is great, as long as the caster can cast it without a bunch of porosity right? Do you do much hand fabricating these days?

Re: Somthin Pretty
Thanks for the coments.....Jeff I do still fabricate quite a bit, most of the CAD stuff I do is only to get exact semetry in the foundation of the design then all the assembly and finishing is of course done by hand.
