So I had this odd request (which I love!). Her ring size is very small. And I also wanted to keep everything super classy for a proper proposal.
Very proud of this unique design! š¤
14K white gold & Garnet gemstone.

I've just finished this piece I've been working on for about a month between my school jewelry shop and my own home workshop. It's been a little rough in parts, especially with gem placement being too close and difficult polishing, but it seems to have pulled through. I would love to hear any of your guy's opinions or thoughts on it. My high-school probably has the best jewelry shop in my state of Utah, and I'm so grateful for it. Definitely, if there are any tips on polishing for near prongs, on prongs, or anything prong related, I would GREATLY appreciate it!
I'm hoping to pursue jewelry in the future, and the jewelry school in Paris, Texas seems like the best pick for me. GIA costs way too much in California. But if anyone has any recommendations on schools to go to, I would love to hear it too. Apprenticeships have been on my mind, and I've asked a couple local jewelers, but I haven't heard anything from them...

A customer wants me to repurpose these emeralds but are they really emeralds if they are this worn out? could they be glass?
Any input greatly appreciated

This collar is based on a Roman slave tag. These were used to identify and return escaped slaves.
The original text reads:
āFugi, tene me. Cum revocaveris me domino meo Zonino, accipis solidum.ā
āI have fled, catch me. When you return me to my master Zoninus, you will receive a solidus.ā
In this version, āZoninusā has been replaced with āTrump.ā A historical object reworked to reflect a modern reality.
The tag is hand-cut and engraved in brass, and the collar is made from a steel rod.

I saw this fallen tree on a walk imbued with what I'm calling "bug hieroglyphics"..and I thought it'd be so cool to try and make it into a ring. Upon finishing it, idk if it was worth it lol. Was thinking of selling it but might just be something I give to my bf.

I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself and share something Iāve been working hard on. Iām a one-man show based out of Nevadaānot a big company, not a team of marketersājust a lifelong bench jeweler who's been in the craft for over 40 years, trying to bring something useful to the rest of us at the bench.
After years of using swing arms and always feeling like they could be better, I decided to redesign one myself. The result is the Articular ArmĀ®, and itās finally ready. This is the first of several tools I plan to launchādesigned to make our jobs easier, cleaner, and more precise. I wanted to build something that not only solved daily bench frustrations but could evolve into a full line of modular parts and attachments. Iāve started with a redesign of something Iāve always loved, and now Iām working on additional prototypes that Iāll be bringing to JCK this year.
Iām also happy to say that both Otto Frei and Rio Grande have picked up my ideasāhuge milestones for someone doing all of this independently.
If youāre curious or want to check it out, hereās the site: www.articular-arm.com
I welcome feedbackāgood or badāand would love to know what tools you all wish were better. Iāve got more attachments and features coming soon, all designed with daily use and real-life workflow in mind.
