    An addition to my last post: sometimes you just hafta work with
    windowed stones! The aquamarines I flashbacked to were ones a
    customer wanted to have made into earrings because her father had
    bought them in Brazil long ago, before he died. They weren't
    calibrated so I made handmade bezels for the design we came up with.
    I just cut out the back as much as I could and polished well. I
    wasn't crazy about the way the stones looked, but the customer was
    thrilled. Can't put a price on sentimental value!
