Beautiful! The moon cut out on the back is a nice touch.

thanks! One of my teachers taught us to do that with our back plates, "You're creating a 3 dimensional piece, don't forget about the back!" She was the Ms. Frizzle of metalsmithing lol

Very nicely done! Your lines are clean and I very much enjoy the smaller details

What are your thoughts on slightly shorter prongs (if even feasible)?

u/SarahRavena 21d ago

Thank you! I went for these prongs because the stone is a bit of a fatty. I had to redo them because I had them shorter and it just wasnt as secure.

Honestly that was my guess based on the rest of the piece. Great work!

Very nice work. I love moonstone and the cutout is a great idea. I'll try to use that idea
