my problem is that i want the diamonds to be flush set and cast-in-place is the easiest way to do that, but then there's a section of the piece i want enamelled also. my main concern is that the diamonds might crack during cooling from such a high temperature. and unfortunately i don't have extra diamonds to experiment with and can't afford to replace them should something go wrong. hence my paranoia :(
it would be really interesting to see diamonds under translucent enamel... that could be really cool... damnit now i want more diamonds. it's hard to let myself experiment when the cost of materials is so high :(
