04022011253.Necklace piece drilled ready for stone setting
So this photo should have come first. At this point i had marked the 6 places on the piece where i wanted the stones to be set. I then drilled through the copper at each marked spot with a 1mm drill bit; then again at each spot with a 1.5mm drill bit. I then used a 2mm round bur, and carefully drilled it just enough so that when i put the stones in, they were just flush with the surface of the metal.
