It seemed to be so curved that I couldn\u2019t quite be sure I would be able to get a setting to grip it, what with it being so large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally decided I to give it a go and I&#8217;m really pleased with the results. Decided on as minimalist a setting as possible, just a grooved square section corner claw setting on a wide D section ring. Had to spend ages filing grooves into the sides of the claws and bending them to match the curved profile of the stone. Soldered tiny little end caps to clip over the stone. Nerve wracking soldering, trying not to get too much heat on later joints and have the whole thing disintegrate. After a few test fittings, the stone snapped into place beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jules got this one as a Valentine\u2019s day prezzie while we were skiing in Austria.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"891\" src=\"https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Photo_1637032_Canon_G7XmkII-1024x891.jpg\" alt=\"Photo_1637032_Canon_G7XmkII\" class=\"wp-image-554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Photo_1637032_Canon_G7XmkII-1024x891.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Photo_1637032_Canon_G7XmkII-300x261.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Photo_1637032_Canon_G7XmkII-768x668.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"755\" src=\"https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Photo_1637040_Canon_G7XmkII-1024x755.jpg\" alt=\"Photo_1637040_Canon_G7XmkII\" class=\"wp-image-556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Photo_1637040_Canon_G7XmkII-1024x755.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Photo_1637040_Canon_G7XmkII-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Photo_1637040_Canon_G7XmkII-768x566.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve had this large rose-quartz stone for over a year now and it\u2019s been tantalising me every time I look at it.
