[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 607014, member: 1916"] Correct on the no table Pat, wasnt thinking much of the stone and was trying out an old Robilt machine to see what engineering went into it. Adopted a simple 8 sided stone design to start with but kept the girdle round on transfer. Had to freestyle the rest as the transfer was a disaster. Thought it might come up ok as a pendant stone being about 12mm in diameter so decided to do a rose crown at 22deg to test the accuracy of the Robilt. Polish is a bit substandard for my liking but the cheater on the old Robilt is a bit crude and I didnt give the stone the credit it deserved.....still....very happy with the outcome. Now working on turning some fire-ruined 925 NoX finds into a rustic pendant, had some success with creating match-stick prongs to hold the stone ???
