I appreciate you sharing your work and your journey. Have you considered using a jewelry/ rock polisher or tumbler for polishing your pieces? My business partner and I use one, and it might be a piece of equipment that can save you a lot of time and energy in your polishing process. Some will say that it is not the same as hand polishing/buffing, and it is not, perhaps, but you may just find that it gives you a lot of the effects you are looking for with a lot less work. :)
@@DasonMartin i have seen them but I wasn’t sure if it would be useful for my pieces!! What kind do you use? I saw one that had tiny beads in it.. is it just better for getting the smaller spaces buffed?
Awesome as usual. You always upload when I go to lunch so works perfect. I'm working on a Australian black opal ring. Still getting the hang of getting the bezel pushed down and fitted properly. On of my other previous rings I was wearing today and someone saw it and said they liked it. That makes it worthwhile to keep making. Do you have a Facebook to follow?
@ thank you 🙏 im glad the timing works out well 😉 very cool!!! i agree it’s always lovely to have someone notice your work hahah - do you post yours anywhere?
