I don't like the stone. I figured I'd use the stone as a size gauge, but set another stone that I liked more and tell her if she wants her ugly one put in she can take it to another jeweler. But. That was before I saw the price of cabachons that size. Yikes. So. She'll get a slightly smaller, but cuter stone. The wax isn't finished at all. Its just roughed out. I need to wait for the stone to finish it up. I think I might go for a one off... not mold and reproduce it. But I do think the basic shape works.
(The wax in the picture is carved, and will be lost wax casted for silver.)

work in process. work in progress?
*which is it?*
Maybe its both? Will be so pretty, love triangles and the carving looks like it will flow nicely. Is this for holidays or a just because?
Sorry, I self deleted...too many typos. Below is the revised and latest edition:
I've always wanted to learn how to do lost wax casting. I think the jewelry makers that can do that are the true jewelers. Not the ones that just string beads on a cable.
And yeah, I've wondered too; is it process or progress or perhaps their interchangeable ?
I'm leaning towards "work in progress." Though it still sounds odd.
Jenn, its for just because. i like doing custom stuff, but because of the time involved i usually only do it for family. i think my mother thinks she's going to pay me for this. she's not though. lol.
