Here is a set of grips that I added 16 diamonds for my .22 Mag. Now on to the holster and the other million projects I have going :)

 Goldsmithy you certainly have the flair for showmanship . :)
TO ARMS , TO ARMS the liberal socialists are coming . Load and prime your weapons . Don't shoot till you see their UN patches or the Obama bumper stickers , literally . And shoot any politician that says he wants to help you or us .

Nice! Is the lanyard ring your mod or can I buy it? In Carpenter jeans the mini just looks like the other junk I carry. Does not "print" but needs a lanyard in the deep pocket. Would the mod void the warranty ? Latter I will have questions about polishing on my 35 year Kentucky pistol project. Love your stuff.

WOW! Very nice! A riverboat gambler's dream come true! Pick a card. Any card. Don't let me see it. If I can now tell you there is a card missing from the deck, did I win it? HA! I didn't tell you I would say WHICH card!

What's the total carat weight of the diamonds...maybe about 4?  Worked at a jewelry store back in college and was thinking each individual stone was maybe around a quarter carat based upon that picture and assuming the stones on the other side were the same size.

These grips have a total of .76 ct. The stones are SI/h and are set into 14kt. white gold bezels which have 'barbs' raised so that they will 'lock' into the grips. This is the first time I have used this technique. Now, on to casting stones in place, another technique I have never done...:)

Goldsmithy I'm afraid you might have to spray over those diamonds with poly clear paint to keep them from popping out , and they will if its shot . The wood will expand and contract ever so slightly over time if its exposed to the air around us . Just the shock of the shooting will make them pop like popcorn . Good luck .  ;) ;)

I'll let you know after I go to the range this week. If the stones pop out, I will 'stabilize' them (inject resin under a vacuum. As pretty as it is...if it doesn't hold together to shoot, the gun is valueless. I'm more worried about the grips splitting when shooting.

You can use screw-back earring mountings, with the backs locktited and countersunk.
