I don’t want to know how many more grey hairs I got for setting these!! 14 stones set yesterday and today? Teeth clenching work! It is probably the most stressful but at the same time satisfying parts of my work. The adrenalin, nerves and focus is intense!! Phew! Unfortunately two small fatalities but luckily had replacements. Sometimes you just can’t predict how a stone is going to behave during setting. It takes everything out of me! I need a holiday # # #satisfaction #setting #lovemyjob #handcraft #stress #finished #jewellerymaking
