Emerald Pendant Finished

[Southern Custom]

Thanks for all the encouragement on this project. Finished setting last night. The old fashioned way; little hammer and tiny punch. I did use a thin 22k wire buffer on the seat as a shock absorber and the technique worked better than I could have hoped. No more sweating those last few wacks. Glad it's over. I do wish the client had let me turn this into a pendant with a bail but they wanted it permanently attached to the omega necklace. Sorry the pic is not better.
