Hi,
Just finished two new pieces: one with Burmese amber and one with orbicular jasper. Both are set in vermeil (gold plated silver) and made with "lost-wax-method".

Thanks danielle Yes, it is made of 925 Silver. Here I attach 2 pictures, one showing the back, and another showing the side. Hope this helps.
Barbara O. Ellis, GG Thanks Never thought they would be transformed well during the designing stage ....haha...

Thanks guys Glad that I am not the only one that feels that these "ugly duckling sapphires" are optimally utilized. Originally, I planned to throw these stones into the aquarium....but some how it was too hard to throw these unheated Burmese into the fish tank at the last minute although they are not well cut, and some with surface-reaching cracks some more...Luckily I didn't do it..
I did only the designing and gem sorting & arrangement. My jeweler friend was the one who perfectly implemented the magical metal work according to my ideas. credits to him!
Before starting the metal work, we discussed a bit on methods of making it. Definitely not the wax method (not his favorite method !), should be some sort of hammering technique..I will ask him more about the detail of technique applied when I meet him the next time.
