A joy to watch as always. What I like most is that the difficult parts are not cut out, so it's clear not everything is always going perfect, making it real life. End result is smashing! Thanks!!
Chad, I love seeing how you navigate a project! It's the fuguring out that can be so much fun (or a pain in the butt😅). But it is always satisfying when the piece is done. I drill holes (or side grooves with a cylinder frase) into my prong base and insert - and solder, the prong wires. It helps me with visual accuracy. Do you ever try that? Nice design! 🌺 🌺 🌺
Lovely piece. But I was just wondering if you cut out a set and notched the settings? I’m sorry if I missed that. I just didn’t see it if so. I didn’t know if maybe that was cut by mistake or not. 😊 thanks!!

Thanks! Sorry about the camera booboo on this one:)
Those stones harmonated wonderfully! Well made piece, Chad 😊👌
Thanks Elin!
Beautiful design! I laughed out loud at the "profanity intermission"!
Thanks Kate! I have quite a few of those:)
What a beautiful little pendant! Thank you Chad!
My pleasure! I'm glad you liked it Melinda:)
Morning Chad! Watching your video with a cup of coffee to start the day! :) Also love the pendant!
I was about to go grab a cup too:). Thanks!
Very cool shape!
Thank you Bojicasin!
I can definitely see myself doing something similar using graduated cabs. Thanks, always, for the tips!
My pleasure Sheran! Thanks for the nice comment:)
That turned out really beautiful!!
Thank you Mary!
Lovely pendant Chad! I like your idea of drawing a square the same size as the circle setting for marking the prong locations. 👍
Thanks Rochelle:)
Gorgeous!!!!!!
Why thank you!
Thanks very inspiring
You're welcome Kassem:)

I haven't tried that flying chef, but I will now:). Thanks for the good technique suggestion (and the nice donation)!
Love that! Thanks Chad.
Also I highly approve of the profanity intermission…
One question. Do you cut grooves in the prongs?
Lovely piece. But I was just wondering if you cut out a set and notched the settings? I’m sorry if I missed that. I just didn’t see it if so. I didn’t know if maybe that was cut by mistake or not. 😊 thanks!!
I used a small diamond bur to cut a small taper on each and narrowed the base of the prongs for the girdle of the stone. Thanks Julie:)
