Had to make an emergency trip to Washington State, family emergency, (wifes side) but I was able to meet up with Haysam, world class jewlerer, he studied under Alexandre in Belgium, was with him for a week, he put up with me and showed me the ropes, he showed me to set stones from scratch, not ready to set items with prongs already made, using onglettes, it was a whole other world, and i still need more control, learned to make the right and left circular onglettes to cut circles to create perfect walls, all in all it was a great time spent with a good friend.

Here are some pictures.







The one on the far right, stones were facing all directions except where they should, Haysam is tuff, had me do it again and again, thank God it improved every time I did it.

The only problem now is my wife getting ideas of what she thinks I can do.



Our families having lunch.

@Sam. Yes he is, stand up guy

@Layne, like winning the golden ticket to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory

@Jay, Thank you brother hard work, pays off. I have no excuse I should never go hungry with what I've learned thus far.
