Cabochon Finished!
Just finished my aquamarine cabochon ring! This one took some significant blood, sweat and tears. Since my last update I did some work on the band, hand filed into a sloping shape, then sawed and soldered onto the cabochon setting itself. This part took some work as I had to make sure they fit together like pieces of a puzzle while maintaining the correct shape for the stone itself. I then filed down the sides after setting the stone, used a hand punch to hold the stone in, then polished. Voila! Next up is a rose ring.
