I got some diamonds and other gem stones along with a plain 14k gold band in trade for some laser work for a gold buyer who is a friend of mine. I had the local jeweler tutor me and went to work. I took a clip from a Jr. Emp. and removed the designer bar that is on the clip. Then cut and shaped the gold ring, soldered pins on the back to fit the mounting holes in the clip. I drilled holes in the bar for the diamonds and swaged them in. The jeweler was patient with me and I had to do a couple of the stones more than once. I encased an emerald in pr in the top of the cap. It just looks like a green blob, but, live and learn. The rest of the pen is carbon fiber mated to an acrylic blank. I learned a lot with this pen. The next one will be better, and probably will not have any gems. Oh ya, almost 1/2 tcw in that clip. LOML is watching it close. All comments welcome and appreciated.
