So proud of this one!!! 🥲🫶🏼

Long time lurker, first time posting here 🤣 just wanted to share this piece I made last week that I’m SUPER proud of. I really struggle with faceted gem settings for some reason & can’t usually get them right, so this was definitely a good skill builder for me!!! Blue topaz in the center, with peridot & lab spinel in sterling silver.

Side note - does anyone have any better tips for polishing the hard to reach areas in a cluster style like this? This was the best I was able to do. The best result I was able to get was with a 1mm fiberglass scratch pen. Personally I love how the textured backplate looks against the more polished points. But any tips for next time if I wanted to get the backplate just as polished? TIA for any advice! :)
