Found it on another forum, but no one knew if it was handmade or bought. I like the idea behind it. I'm wondering if they can be purchased. Has anyone ever seen them?

I have made that style for quite some time now. You just need the right kind of wrap to do it. I like the look myself.

My guess would be that it's hand fabricated. Not sure from the pic. exactly what keeps the stone located in it though. Unless it's a bit more pinched than it looks. Would be easy enough to make. Mike

I sure do like it too. And with the price of silver it is a great option for still being able to create and not have all your money tied up in silver. Thanks for posting:)

Unfortunately, that is the only photo I could find and that was shown on my Lampwork Etc. forum. Someone there was looking for more information, too. I'll go over and see if I can find the thread again to see if anyone contributed more info. I didn't know if it might be soldered. I agree it's a beautiful way to showcase cabs.
