thank you ^_^
You're very welcome. You do amazing work.
and I did some searching and research to see if I could find a garnet of the same shape as the stone above, and so far I haven't found anything -_- I also asked my dad about the kiwi quarts stone above, and he said that the cut of this stone was a custom cut that he bought off a traveling salesman. So I'm not sure if I'll be able to find what we're looking for.
May I ask how the stone is attached to silver?
Does it have a hole and it is pinned trough that or is it glued?
the stone does have a hole on the top. I soldered a little post on the heart pendant, and I used Jewelers epoxy to glue it in place.....Very similar to how many pearls are glued onto jewelry
look at my gallery! every piece there with gemstones in it is set the old fashioned way.
So
Glue has its uses, but some people use it because they are lazy.
*sigh*
and just so you know for sure

These are the only pieces in my gallery with the stones glued in. The stones in this piece are glued in too

But that's just because I had to work economically with that one. If I were to flush mount each of those stones into place, it'd take to long and I would've had to charge way to much for the piece
But when I do glue stones into place, I don't use cheap super glue or anything. I use a professional grade jewelers epoxy that sets up strong as a rock.
