garnet earrings

I wonder if you could you paint the back of the stone with something nice and reflective (silver leaf) and then epoxy them?

I tried this way too but result was not so good. As I said light must go through a faceted stone free and the stone must be surrounded with air for better refraction of light.

I see, so the garnet is visible from both sides?

I can say yes but actually this garnet has more than two sides. The stone has complicated faceting.

Great job as usual!

Thank you Gary

Just beautiful Zebrano. Can we see the backs for better appreciation of how you dealt with it?

Thanks Yorkshire. M..m…I have no photo the backs right know. But there are nothing to see, just plane polished walnut surface. Nothing interesting.

Thanks Z!

Beautiful earings. Wondermont at the way they are made. Truly a work of art.

Hi Zebraano;

Kind of makes me wish I had holes in my ears! LOL

Nice design and workmanship.
