This first one is from Yorkton Saskatchewan, it was a small slab from Brent. I really like the color on this one but the material is a bit chippy so I had some trouble with the edge. These here two are a couple of my local Estevan Saskatchewan rock. The first is some kind of jasper (about 7.5 mohs) hope I can find more of it, so far I found just enough for this cab. Glaciers give me all kinds of things but quite often just one of them. This second is a agate/jasper? Quite a bit of this type here.

Beautiful pendants, you make very neat bails and the contour wire emerges so evenly all around the cabs. the second one is my favorite.

These are beautifully wrapped and I love all three. Did you use GF wire? The color of the wire looks great with your cabs.

Its nothing but the finest Walmart craft wire. $3.50 / roll. Its what is availible localy so I will probably just keep using it until I get better.

You have some beautiful stones, especially that second one and the wraps are great! It may be cheap wire but it does the trick and looks beautiful! You did a great job! Fran

Hard to believe you can improve on these, they look perfect. I like the second stone the best but all the wraps are great.
