Silversmithing: Setting a Rough Rock
This video tutorial shows the process of taking a found rock, slicing a piece off with a lapidary trim saw, polishing the back, and making a sterling silver setting for it to create a unique pendant. This particular rock is a chunk of granite with some Amazonite on it. I think this one turned out quite pretty and unusual. This video is a bit longer, but is a complete tutorial, so I think it is worth the watch time. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, as I've taught people for most of my life.
