Is it possible to cut a precious stone into a pendant?
I am making a piece of Jewelery and I don't have the resources to cast silver. However I do have plenty of materials at hand to use. I was wondering if it was possible to cut a larger stone (probably not a gem) into a pendant, and have jewels encrusted in it, and for it to look good? If its possible, what stones would work the best and look the best together?
Yes you could use a small slab or nugget like lump polished rock. Simply use a diamond tipped rotary tool bit or small masonry drill to make cavity roughly same size as gem and chemically bond (glue) the stone in place. If you use a thin slab and pierce completely through you get a better play of sparkle in the gem.
As for stone to use something that compliments for set stones the harder the better a contrast in colour or pattern may be?
Where to get them? Hippy alternative candle burning incense shops often have wide range of small stones to choose from but alternative would be a natural stone tile from tiling or monumental masons probably already polished off cuts going cheap, even Ebay offer small polished and rough stone. I have even seen some nice stones in pet shops for aquarium displays for sale.
Lastly drill hole to hang or shape and carve stone with the rotary tool and diamond bits and polish with series of finer and finer abrasives and buff with mounted buff wheels and something like stainless steel compounds.
