Oh and just so frank knows I've been paying very close attention to what he says ie I've been working on smaller sharper looking cab designs that should still be easy enough to bezel.(I think..Im looking into some jewelry classes at pratt fine arts center which is very very close to home for me) And staying away from ovals and circles a bit more to attract more stone setters/jewelers an such..

These do look sharp, very attractive.I know Pratt well as I cast bronze there and fixed huge Brazilian quartz crystals on their glass lapping machines and actually taught at the sister facility Seward Park art studio.

Yeah they offer some pretty incredible classes..I know a artist girl that is a art student and has been going there off and on for years and she LOVES it there..it seems a bit pricey but I think it will be worth it to learn some new skills and add metals/wood to my stonework
