stichtite, chrysoprase, rhodochrosite and MT sapphire

black opal, sterling

opal, MT sapphires, gaspeite, covelite

this one gave me lots of trouble
lapis, oj, rhodocrosite, MT sapphires 18K and 22K w/sterling

might be it for awhile if the weather stays nice back to cutting logs and helping build log cabins
I will try and take pics of the next piece I do so you can see the steps. Before I started posting these I hadn't done much more than simple fabricated settings, maybe about 100. Once the art of getting the solder to flow is realized then it gets much easier.
The last issue of Lapidary Journal/Jewelry Artist for some reason sparked this strange obsession w/these new designs.

No person should ask for more than the moments. They should accept what the rock gods offer and make no demands against the future

Those are great.
	Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. Matthew 7:24-25

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)
