Finishing Your Jewelry With Gems & Chains

I'm D J Poye, professional Jeweler and Gemologist, and am here today on behalf of Expert Village. Okay, here we go, here's the finished piece. I don't know what we'll call it, but, maybe The Swirl of Life. But this piece warrants itself to some stones and maybe that will be the next tape, but I also want to show you what stones look like in it as well. So if you wanted to put stones in it, we sure can. I was thinking that if I was going to put stones in it, it would be something to the effect like that. Maybe possibly three pearls, have some, a blue calsidney, and calsidney would be open to where you can get a little bit more light through it. It's a semi opaque stone, so it's nice to have the light, its have a refractive index that's fairly low, so light comes in from the back and the front. And that would be beautiful. And so, I've got a different chain, we can place it on a chain. Also the bale, would, would really matter about what chain you would use for it. So make sure that that bale is large enough to place whatever chain you have. And if it's not the chain that you want, silk chord, leather chord, any of that kind of chord is very popular right now too. Do a lot of different types of old style macrame'. Is that dating me? I'm pretty sure it will. But I love silk chord and I love lots of different colored leather and you have a really nice piece right here. Thank you so much for stopping in to Metal Essence Studio, with D J Poye Jeweler/Gemologist and once again, I want to thank Expert Village.com Have a great day.
