Making Jewelry Out Of A Rock We Found On A Beach

[@imatawnyowl]

Me and my daughter are watching this from the UK. I do not usually comment on videos. However, my daughter who is 6 told me I have to comment and tell you how amazing the necklace is, and its the most beautiful thing she has seen. She now wants to go hunt stones on our beach! 😊

[@RockhoundingLife]

Please tell your daughter thank you very much and that her comment made my day!! Send me an email at [e-mail] and ill plan to send her some goodies (rocks).

[@imatawnyowl]

Thank you for your reply. My daughter read your comment and was so happy! We went to our beach, with no clue as to what we were looking for. The ones my daughter chose have beautiful colouring ( we tried to add a pic to the comment, but couldnt figure out how to do that ), not so sure if that will continue throughout the center of the stones we have collected...... Alyssa is now trying to convince me to purchase a lapidary saw so we can find out!

Very cool...thanks for showing the detailed process, including the ascending grits.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Glad you liked it!

[@jodyherr3249]

I like the pink agate-y side, but both are beautiful!

[@georgemohr7532]

I like both sides. They are both interesting to look at and different from each other. Makes the piece more interesting. Thanks for posting.

[@RockhoundingLife]

I totally agree!

[@NickAcker2019]

Another stunner Jason! Really love this piece ❤❤❤. I'm digging the dark red jasper with it's chaotic beauty!

[@robynowski2945]

Hard to choose a favorite side but I love the look of the crystal pocket so....pink side it is lol

[@jonnsgirl]

Wow they turned out beautiful! I really love the spinner style pendant! I am a sucker for pink so that's my fave side 😀

[@francoiselandriault8164]

Both are beautiful but I prefer the pink one. Thanks for sharing.

[@vickygoodwin9771]

I choose both, once again I enjoyed watching you make beautiful rocks into beautiful jewelry. But I loved the petrified wood slab from circle cliffs.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you very much!

[@kirsiselei8703]

That is amazing😍. Love both sides equal(love the music too💕)

[@justjulee9135]

That is so beautiful! I love the way it turned out! My favorite side is the pink side, but thats only because i love pink!

[@lisabrightly]

Gorgeous 😻

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you!! 😊

[@keithcunningham7925]

Very awesome 👍😎 thank you for sharing this awesome experience

[@RockhoundingLife]

Our pleasure!

[@jimhutchison3435]

Great video! Where did you get that piece that turns your tile saw into a trim saw and what is it called, please?

[@RockhoundingLife]

The saw i am using in this video in not a tile saw. It is made for lapidary. If you are talking about the vice it comes as an add on for the saw through the manufacturer Hi-Tech Diamond.

[@carylfontaine3640]

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! ❤

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you so much!!

[@shelleygiesbrecht4759]

So beautiful! Thank you bringing us through the process with you. Cheers!

[@RockhoundingLife]

My pleasure 😊

[@RufotrisRootedRockhound]

Very nice! I just saw some similar pendants and almost bought a set of them to try this 😅 I ended up passing on them and I’m looking for some other similar styles though. I like how that came out! Very nice.

[@RockhoundingLife]

They are definitely cool. It's the same style I used for the last Maker's Challenge video if you caught it.

[@dreamlookautodetailingauto3353]

Very nicely done!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@soul_adventurist]

I’ve never seen the spinners before! They are beautiful ❤ Thanks for sharing!😊

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks for watching!

[@chaplin369]

That's so funny I just bought a bag of those spinner moons. That is what I am going to do with them too, with rocks from NS.

[@johnsaucerhunter]

Can I choose both????? Lovely work sir, I can think of a number of rocks I'd like to see in this type of setting too.

[@nitaclem6762]

Red jasper

[@nickiredbonemcl848]

Red side

[@elizabethlewis3509]

Like both sides

[@sandmaker]

A beautiful stone in the rough and even better when finished. Do you ever burnish the edges or only rely on the glue. Either way is good. A wonderful piece. I like the jasper side the best. Thank you for sharing! 😊 😷⚒

[@RockhoundingLife]

I polish the edges as well

[@sandmaker]

@@RockhoundingLife thank you

[@expat3858]

Hello, where do you purchase your pendants? I found a few on Amazon but is there a better place with more choice

[@RockhoundingLife]

I purchase them on Etsy.

[@gaylelevy9296]

Love it! Both sides are awesome but the pink side would be my favourite. Is this going on Etsy?

[@RockhoundingLife]

I don't think so. It's in high demand around my house. I will be making more though and putting on Etsy.

[@elizabethlewis3509]

How much larger do you make your stencil outline so you get the right circumference for your cabision?

[@RockhoundingLife]

The stencil is more of a guide. Once I am close I will continually stop and check if the piece fits the bezel. Once it is snug I stop.

[@jamesrich8463]

What type of glue are we using here? Can you just learn to make cabs just by doing it vs going to a class to learn. I watched you there, and I worry about making uneven and stuff but maybe it works out good if you keep the stone moving around and eyeball it. Looks good.

[@RockhoundingLife]

I am using a lapidary/jewelry grade CA. I am self taught by practice. I eyeball everything. It is not going to be perfect but with more and more practice your mistakes become less and less noticeable to the naked eye.

[@gaylesimper9311]

I love the double sided piece!! They both look reptilian.... my friends would love that too!😂

[@bethbartlett5692]

What type of metal are you using for the settings? I've found some pieces in silver that are most affordable. The value then obviously spikes and it is worth it for the beauty of the stones. + !

[@RockhoundingLife]

For most stones I use a silver aluminum alloy bezel but for some select stones I use a .925 Sterling silver bezel.

[@janaboug9338]

👏👏👏👏👏❤

[@valerieparker8304]

Have you ever made a cross? Curious as to difficult hard it would be. I suspect VERY.

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Look up Michigan Rocks, he made one.

[@RockhoundingLife]

No, but agree with @canadiangemstones7636. Rob (Michigan Rocks) makes them and has a tutorial on how.

[@Alexedwards9]

Hey mate, is that just super glue you used to stick the rock on with?

[@RockhoundingLife]

Yes. Lapidary grade CA

[@joharispeaks4831]

What is the name of this stone ?

[@RockhoundingLife]

Its a red jasper/agate limbcast

[@elizabethlewis3509]

Not able to saw soI just tumble.
