So I maaaaay have spent the last 3.5 hours buying sapphires, CZ and settings... and a jewelry box...and some prong lifters... And some chain nose pliers...

I will be making 6 pieces, and then need to get three settings for the last three stones. But I figured I should give my wallet a break of like, a week. I swear I can hear my bank account weeping, lol. I've already started organizing what my next round of pieces will be. Soooo addicting!! Can't wait to post pics.

Don't be chicken you'll be fine! I was able to take out and replace a stone in one of my cheap rings with a MASSIVE pair of TOTALLY wrong pliers so it should be really easy with the right tools. laugh Just buy a $5 ring from Clair's to practice on until you feel comfortable. Just practice lifting the prongs, taking the stone out and puting it back together again.

My boyfriend gave me the skeptical "you're going to make jewelry?" look, lol but once he sees this he is going to have to take it back!
