A heart felt thank you to all who gave me great advice for
removing those pesky diamonds from their bead and pave settings.
one peice of good but disappointing advice was: but remember to
push them out against a piece of wood such as your bench peg,
otherwise they’ll go into orbit. Here I have been practicing hard
at the Find the Diamond game. I thought it would be the next
olympic sport and I would be a gold metal contenter!
