I'm not a metalsmith by a longshot. Cut and set these for a Christmas present. Black spinel in sterling (who can afford gold?), 6mm in a "rosette" cut.Makes a nice even checkerboard type cut.

Thanks everyone. I'm hoping the recipient liked them just as well. You're right CT. That black spinel is awesome when it polished up!
