Pros
so much more convenient than wrestling with a large roll
Cons
Other Thoughts
I have a rough setup in my garage and this is easier in my limited space
Pros
With the open back and so many folding prongs it's very adjustable setting for your choice of stone/glass and doesn't require a perfectly smooth cabochon, the ring itself is also adjustable in size
Cons
The sizes able to be adjusted to are still quite limited and not very good for even average hands if you want it on a middle or pointer finger, it maxes around size 7.5, and 7 is the average size in jewelry stores for a reason. Not sure how many times it can adjust without breaking, but that's always a concern with any form of adjustablity.
Other Thoughts
I do wish it came in other finishes/metals the bass looks "dirty" and cheap to my older aunt who I was making the ring for
Pros
This is not a thin or easily broken wire for the actual key holding part, very sturdy and feels substantial.
The lip means it's also useful for resin
Cons
The bottom of the interior is totally smooth, which can make it a bit hard to secure the cab with just glue. I had an acquaintance who picked this for her project at a local maker craft place bring hers to me and she asked me re-glue it after it came apart in less than a week. I advised her it really needs epoxy to secure it in such a high use item, but it made me leery of kiln edged glass (ie. irregular) in such a high contact, daily use item, so I put in a lot of work to fit my glass and polish it down to a perfect cabochon.
Other Thoughts
While the smooth interior may be preferred if you want a shiny silver back to it for resin or a clear glass base, I really feel like it needs scuffing if you're going to adhere your glass with glue, and maybe even with a 2 part epoxy/resin
Over all I will likely purchase again
Pros
easy to attach a glass cabochon or even use for resin
Cons
the soft rubberized part feels like plastic, and I try to avoid that for food and drink to avoid micro plastics
Other Thoughts
I have not used in a wine bottle, so I don't know if it will be prone to pitting, was a bit annoying trying to get the base glob to
a perfectly sized cabochon so it wasn't as fast as a pre made thing might suggest
Pros
This crate is perfect for people looking to establish an inventory. There’s a great variety of colors, textures, transparencies, patterns etc… I was so pleased with the speed of delivery, the quality of the glass, and the customer service. Fantastic value for the price and the amount of glass!
