hello all,
I’m lookin for a couple of small round fine red rubies ~1.5mm. for
incorporation into a pair of earrings.
essentially, I will be placing the Rubies into a fused teardrop of
Silver.
is it best to drill and glue the stones, or is there a better way
without glue?
what technique to set the stones?
will a ruby withstand .999 Silver Fusing heat? if so, I want to embed
the stone into molten silver and carve down to expose it after
cooling.
since I must mail order without seeing the stones, I need a
trustworthy source for finer quality stones that won’t rip me off.
thanks
Jim
