It has been a really long time since I have gotten two pieces done in one day. This Psilomelane is a redo. I set this one when I first started smithing a few years ago with a store bought bail. Today I pitched the old setting and started over. Chuck

That's a really nice piece with its combination of pattern and shape.

I really like the simplicity of this one. My daughter wants me to make her one similar to this one - she says it is elegant. I think so too.

Very pretty! That's how psilomelane should be set. Very simple, to show off that gorgeous stone.

Ya gotta' love psilomelane -- messy to cut, gorgeous when polished. Very nice piece!

Thanks all. If this were not a teardrop shape I think I would be keeping it for myself. I think this stone makes for a great man pendant.
