I am always disappointed by the iPhones focusing.
Where it is focused, shows great detail, but it always misses.

It's OK..... we can still see your messy workbench.

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

A clean bench means little work is done.

 

[Overread16 4]

So true!

But now I wonder - just how much are your fingers worth?

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

I don't get what you mean, Overread.

Hes saying fingers are worth more than the bling

Edit: Im not quite sure what Im lookin at here bJ. Snoop Dogg's pinky ring? What is the purple material? Enamel?

hehe well I don't know about that - but more the fact that surely Bitter's fingers are now far more valuable now that they've got all that dust on them (of course I'm assuming its valuable diamond/stone and silver dust and such)

 

[Arkanjel Imaging]

Ah, the "Goldfinger" effect.

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

Ahhh! Hahahahaha! I see. Could've gone either way.

Yeah, when a jeweler dies, they don't get burried, they get refined.

AI, the purple is wax. I had to set a bunch of diamonds, and assemble the side "panels", melt the panels into the wax, then carve the ring around them.
I'll post the finished piece when it's done. It's for a 100 year old lady. She was supposed to come in to approve the wax today but she didn't.

 

[Arkanjel Imaging]

Ah. Man that must be some dense wax to be that translucent. I used to make a fair amount of jewelery when I was in the dental lab business. Never did any stone setting though. Just waxing/casting/finishing. I envy your skills sir!

"It's a poor photographer who blames his iPhone!"

I hope she's just late and not... late.

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

Ark, Wax work is my favorite part of the process, I think. I don't know how dense the wax is, it's a sort of plastiwax.

Derrel, your right! I did better this time!

Orion, that was our joke too. She came in this last Saturday, and loves it, so it's moving forward.

Here's a new project:
