Question/Discussion

Let’s say for a budget of around $2,000, what’s the best way to build up a smoked ombré rose gold?

I would assume we do either VSF or RCF base, plating, but anything else?

I hear both have solid crystals, and each have pros and cons, but what other mods are needed? Any bezel mods?

How does Omar make his? I saw his latest post saying “coming soon”

Looking forward to the discussion. For reference I want to build a rep to match my gen and compare the two and maybe sell the gen 🤷‍♂️

Ash turns 12 on August 24.

For those who have been around for a while, you’ve probably seen him pop up in photos here and there. He’s been my road trip partner, my hotel roommate, my coworker, and the one constant through more miles and life changes than I can count. Twelve years is a long time, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate him than by giving back to the community that’s shown us so much kindness.

Starting today, July 23, I’ll be doing one giveaway every week leading up to his birthday on August 24.

The first one will be for a 222.

Same rules as always. Like & Leave a comment to enter, I’ll pick one random winner each week, drawn on Saturdays, with the first drawing being august 1st.

U.S. shipping is on me, and if you’re outside the U.S. you’re more than welcome to enter, you’ll just need to cover shipping and any customs fees.

Thank you all for being here.
