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

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.

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
