Here are a couple of pendants that I finished up over the weekend. The first is gem dino bone, this material is super fine and as you can see, takes a hell of a shine. It's set in sterling silver. This is one of my favs from my WWR collection. I sat and looked at it for days after I cut the biscuit trying to figure out how I wanted to cut the cab. After I cut the cab, it was another two weeks before I knew how I was going to mount it. The pics kinda show very fine banding but when looked at the bands thru a loupe, every color in the rainbow is represented in the stone. The see-thru back is a first for me but something that I think I will be doing more of. It takes a lot longer to cut the hole and get everything just right but what the heck, my stones are worth the best. Front: Back: Thanks for looking ALL! ROCKDS

Okay, I'll name the WWR cab for you. "River of Fire". Nice job on those Robert. I agree, your cabs deserve the best setting. Now, do something about the over-exposed photos!

There is something very sensuous and sinuous about that agate. Very nicely done.

My favorite is the first one, but they are both beautiful. Do you get your bezel by the foot or are those premade? Very nice!!!
