This is a set of necklace, earings & bracelet I made for my wife a couple years ago. I hadn't done any thing quite like it before. I had these great looking slabs of Kingman Turquoise I cut. I was trying to figgure out how to use them to best advantage. Having all those book matched/succesive slabs with the fantastic matrix in it. I woke up one morning with the idea Bingo BUTERFLIES!!!!
She's worn it quite a bit & it's been in our luggage on vaction etc. So there are a couple of cracks now in the wings. But that's what happens over time. The bracelet is fabricated from #8 half round & twisted wire. I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for looking
Mike

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
