Great video but no new videos from you
Do you think rhodium plating behind a flush mounted stone with a window could improve the appearance of the stone? Assume it’s in an 18k yellow gold signet style ring.
Do you have more videos?
Underrated channel alert!!! Excellent video!
looking forward to next one
Great information. Looking forward to more.
Rachel, be strong to continue this channel!!! Time to time you will improve little things as pictures! The main thing is content. Go! Cheers, Marco Serson
Hi, very good explanations, thank you. But.... the photos of the gems are horrible. Please change them. Its not so difficult to take good gem pictures nowadays. Kind Regards Reinhard
Hi Richard, I'm very glad you enjoyed the content, and I'm sorry you don't like the photos. Thank you for the feedback. Cheers, Rachael
