Totally unbelievable artwork & skill using one simple graver.
Fantastic cutting, ‘WE’ want more of this kind of artwork.
One teacher in a community college said to her students…“you don’t
have to learn how to use a graver. all you have to do is to set
bezels”.
…duh!..Gerry Lewy

My guess is Gerry, that the teacher who said that her or his
students didn’t have to learn to use a graver couldn’t use one either
but could set a bezel. So much to learn and so little time to learn
it - setting a person off in a direction of a new experience of
learning is so exciting.
So disheartening to see teachers who slam the door shut.

My other reason is that ‘she’ didn’t know how to use a simple
graver. I use a graver all the time when finishing off a 8x6 mm
oval-faceted stone! You should hear the “Oh & Wow’s” that come from
the mouths of my students.
I just whet their appetite to learn more about graver usage. They
even forge ahead & use my Bright-Cutting Onglette graver. To say you
don’t need this topic, is akin to avoiding how to polish a ring.
