Hello, i am a novice jewelry maker. In January I was diagnosed with cancer in both lungs, for which I was treated with radiation. Have always had a passion for turquoise, and it was important to me that I make a pair of earrings to wear during treatment. I discovered the Stone and Silver website, and purchased a beautiful pair of Fox cabochons. They did not have backing, but I knew nothing about it then. I set them in silver, and despite my poor (wrinkled) bezels, they were amazing.
Post treatment, I removed them from their settings, and one of the stones crumbled a bit on the side.
Recently I learned that turquoise should be backed, and here’s my question: can backing be applied to a finished stone? I live in Western NC, too far away from the Southwest, alas.
Thank/ katie

  Hi Katie. In my opinion, saying that turquoise should be backed is too much of a generalization. Cutter’s choice. A reputable lapidary will be able to determine if a stone should be backed or not. There’s a few things to take into account before that decision is made. To answer your question- can backing be applied to a finished stone- sure it can. It can be applied any time. After it cured I’d run it thru the wheels again so that the sides and girdle were flush but I’m sure there are lapidarists that would skip that step. I’m not familiar with the site that you mentioned but I’m sure they (or their cutter) had their reasons for not backing the cabs. Blessings to you.
