YUP, I made another ring. This is a banded agate that I bought at the same time as the druzy quartz (and there are more that are waiting). I started the setting along with the druzy's and today I finished it.
But before I did, I cleaned up my workbench from yesterday cause I could not the setting or the stone under it all.
I took some of the scrap bezel and made some silver balls which I soldered to the 4 points of this bezel, then soldered the shank on and polished it up. I placed the setting in my ring clamp which I then positioned in my vice. then using a small Japanese chasing hammer and 2 different sized planishing tools I set the bezel.
Voila, it is now on my hand and it is BIG and BLING!
