In these 7 photographs you will have is a much easier method of “Bead Raising”. There is no need of forming a bead anymore with your round graver. All “Pre-Cutting” is done prior to any “Bright-Cutting”, all of the graver cutting is done and executed with the greatest of precision. I will have many more photographs showing this almost simple process.
Once the ‘pre-cutting’ has been completed, the next task is to create 4 beads but using only a bud or a round shaped bur. The idea is to cut with your burs, the inside little plate of metal in between the 2 holes. The cutting process is to create the cross-pattern O + O all of this is done with your #006 bud shaped bur. The remaining “inside 4 posts” are now the beads you will be needing to form and navigate over the stone.
