I like the interesting edges left unfinished, and that looks pretty, you can't go wrong with Carnelian!

That is awesome. I love the rough edges. She is going to get a ton of compliments on that. One of the prettiest stones I ever wrapped was just face polished and the matrix was left on it rough. This was way before I knew how to make bails or frame a stone. So the eye catcher was the stone in the rough. It's been several years and she still gets compliments on it and trust me, it is not because of the wrap. There is just something about stones in the rough. I bet you are going to get more orders.

I love it! I would pick it over the Tiger Eye. The Tiger Eye is nice, but I love the other one's colors and the freeform, the rough outter rim. LOVE IT!!!!! ;D

Gotta hand it to the lady .. she's got great taste! I too always have liked the more "natural" look especially if I'm gonna wear it... I dig the color choice too of hers.. very stylish.. and yo the tiger is still bytchin but if I had to choose.. I'd of went with # 2 as well..

Actually in my very HO, I think we try to change things way too much. The simpler the better in my opinion. I like it and would choose it over most domed cabs.

Ya know, I would wear the rough one with my jeans, on a regular day. The tiger eye, I would have to dress up for that beauty! And I don't dress up much, LOL. I like 'em both. And if the tiger eye needs a home, I would make it a point to dress up more often, haha!
