One of the young women at church is getting married this summer and I told her to go to my website and pick a pen style. She chose the ultra cigar and I decided to try the mother of pearl gemstone on it. I found the best way to turn this was with a sharp skew on it's side like a scraper. Just need to get it engraved now.

Very nice Rick, she will have to put a big chain on that one.

Excellent fit and finish and I do like that one as a wedding pen.

Have you tried carbide tipped tools for the Trustone?
 
Thanks. It's not one of my favourite kits simply because of the fit of the two parts in the center band. Parts of the gold ring stick up above the chrome ring making for points that I feel may become wear points over time but it is what the bride chose and what she chooses she gets.
 
Very nicely done. The Ultra cigar is not my first choice of kits, but you did an excellent job of making this hardware look good! I have never seen the mother of pearl gemstone. Where does it come from?
