Finally making some jewelry to put the rocks I've been shining up in. I'm taking a class from a local silversmith, he operates out of his garage and he's a great, patient teacher. There's only a few other students so plenty of time to ask questions. He says you need to make about 30 bezels before you get good at it and this is bezel number 5 or 6 so far. My critical eye sees what I messed up but the rest of my eye is like, meh it's good enough for now. The stone is Sunset chrysocolla.

Looks great. And it was made by someone you know.
