I just received my v5 last week and I’ve been working on my very first stone. Technically this is my second, but I FUBARed the first one beyond salvation so this one is my first “completed” stone.

It’s a very included garnet, gifted to me by my teacher for practice. The design is Andrew Brown’s Little Princess cut.

I’m experimenting with linking videos hosted on Pixelfed because in all honesty my gemstone photo skills suck and don’t do this pretty little stone justice quite like the video does.

    I think I got lucky when I chose to buy the Gearloose starter kit because it is REALLY top notch and easy to use. I’m not going to lie, I get weirdly excited to prepolish on that zinc+ with 8k pandimonium in particular. It’s so fine it’s actually hard for me to confirm my final polish is complete on the smaller facets because the prepolish is so smooth. 😂
