You do good work BJ, jewels and photos.

Every time I hear some asshat say true craftsmanship is dead, I want to show them something like this.

Absolutely astounding. :thumbup:

Thank you. I've been doing this for over 20 years. Craftmenship isn't dead, but what you find in most stores is made as cheap as possible, unless you are looking at the bigger designer names, like Simon G.

It's amazing what you guys do, especially when you make it seem like it's just like drinking water.

:thumbup:

I'm half-tempted to commission you to do it. :lmao:

You are very talented.

Every time I hear some asshat

hahahaahaha..... asshat.

Start saving honey.

It looks lovely Bitter. I would love to see a shot of the top. I bet she loves it. I for one love the busy bling and would rock this as well.

I owe you one don't I? I went and reset everything up for you.

You do good work BJ, jewels and photos.

Thanks rez. I've learned a lot from this place. After my last jewelry post, Derrel pointed me to some little shapable "paper" reflectors, and I have been doing that, and it helps a lot. Definitely want another flash to light the top, like Rob suggested.

Dee...the top.

Bitter, time to change monikers. Very, very nice work. Photos' good too.

Oh, you must have really expensive tools. (sorry, couldn't resist, given the number of times we seem to debate whether it's tools or talent or just stupid luck that gives us masterpieces). :thumbup:

Showoff.

Oh, I do! I has lasers! No, really!

The customer picked it up today and swooned. I also got the most awesome compliment from the retailer I did the job for. He said with this job I topped [a jeweler I have always regarded as being better than me]! :mrgreen:

 

[GeorgieGirl]

Well, well...I'll bet that ring sparkles like OMG. Your photos are amazing as well.

(Do you have one of it in its 'colors'???)

 

[RobNZ]

Good stuff Bitter, a swooning customer is the best one, and to get another like that from the retailer, busy busy!

Nice work on the 2nd shot too, I will hide this thread from my wife, haha.

PS: mmmmm lasers, anyway you can get of shot of that in action without frying your sensor?

Thanks Bitter, the side view didn't do the top justice. This was splendid even if you thought it was ugly lol. I'm with Emily, going to save up my toonies for some Bitter Bling.

 

[mishele]

Bitter......is that my Christmas present?!!!!!! You really shouldn't have!!! lol
Amazing work my friend.....you are an incredible artist!!

 

[Light Artisan]

I'm beside myself... don't even know what to type other than unbelievable. :thumbup:

Oh, the ring isn't bad either. :lmao:

 

[rabman]

Nice! can you give a ballpark estimate on what something like that might cost? :er:
