Oh that is just brilliant!! Thank you!

[@relasander8971]

Oh wow! That chamfer trick is a game changer for small settings! Thank you!

[@venniceaw8347]

Wow!!! Spectacular video and just blow my mind ! Especially tips and tricks at the end part - polishing the chamfer of the bezel!! Amazing!!! Thank you Lucy!!

[@anniepoulton8501]

Thanks for the great tip and tricks Lucy xx

[@ESan333]

Wooo that came out clean! Beautiful!

[@allanthompson9695]

Great tips. Ball burr on the yellow cylinder polishing bit is very useful. Thanks Lucy.

[@sueb3798]

It is appreciated to see how you tube set a faceted stone in this video but we aren't told what size burrs to use and how to use them. Setting the seat is tricky and choosing the thick walled tube is important but we're given no detail on these things.

[@TheTruthteller9147]

Thanks for the tips, great video!

[@stephencoster9532]

Hiya, and a great video, I love the micro photography. Thank you for sharing this and the gem hardness list, when I can sort out printing it will be laminated and put above the bench, more than helpful. I do love your work. Stay safe...Steve...

Excellent video, I'm surprised this type of mount isn't seen more often. Very neat and tidy, cool tune as well.

[@LucyWalkerJewellery]

Ha ha ha - I'm working on my cheesy electronic music came ;)

[@annh3599]

[@fatimahbint6879]

[@janicephillips1828]

Thanks so much! Radically easier with great results.

[@tatianatia464]

Cool tips , thank you !

[@Merojewelleryworkshop]

Great nice work keep doing

[@jessiekml]

Ooo, feels like such a waste to modify a brand new pumice wheel (?) but that's what tools are for right?? In the name of productivity, I will have to do the same 😅 Great video quality btw

[@paulknapp2223]

hi what is that tool and size you use at the begining please like a cup burr but it looks really big

[@neohwenghong1377]

Awesome 🤘

[@sheilagagel4666]

What bullet polisher is being used?

[@militaryeducationbenefits9708]

Pumice

[@yiliajasmine1438]

Amazing job!Thank you for sharing these tricks!They are really useful for me! Could you tell the name of the yellow attachment you use in the video? Thank you so much!

[@purdiewendy]

Lucy love your videos they are so informative. What grit is yellow bullet that you filed down to use to polish the bezel edge with? Are Dedeco bullet with mandrel from Rio Grande the same as that? Regards Wendy

[@johnmimist]

Lucy, I’d rather hear your voice teach, rather than music. A lot of us watch this at night and this music is stressful . yes I turned it down. But your voice would be teaching where as music and silence doesn’t teach.

[@ToddGodfrey]

Lucy what hammer do you use?

[@Robindalmiras]

Yes, would love to know, too!

[@LucyWalkerJewellery]

Its GRS graver Max Todd :)

[@ToddGodfrey]

@@LucyWalkerJewellery any particular model? I am ignorant of those things?

[@MrElmar77]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@silverglass6635]

Ugly music 🤣

[@ambroiseschmitt2782]

Yurgh!! Sorry everything’s wrong on this setting, use tube for a Solitaire ?? Push the metal against the stone ?? No finish cutline on the jaw … that is really beginner style, you can show better ☝️
