Update #3 First Polish
Here are the results of the First Polish. You can see the marks in the Gold as they were in the wax when it was cast. The rings are attached as they were cast in the same flask so they would each have exactly the same Gold. Next steps are hand sanding, polishing, stone setting, then final texture. The final texture will be the "frosted finish" of the band of the rings, with the highly polished Half Hearts to match the original photo.

Update #4 Finished
Denise - here they are. I was able to put in 10pt Diamonds instead of the 7s.......I am very pleased. You should have received the tracking number by now from USPS. I will add to the Creation Story when I return.
