Those look great. Simple but very elegant. What do the backs look like? Mind sharing a pic?

How the heck do those cabs stay in there? I see you doing these cool wraps all the time (between her and Facebook) and have always wondered this!

I think they are groove wrapped. but, Marie, how do you get the cab so shiny with a flat front surface? They are so beautiful. these have a better groove with no chips in the sides. how did you do that? did you do something different to the groove? These are perfect in every way.

That is a beautiful set. The shape of the stones is definitely interesting and adds a lot to the pieces since the jasper is mostly just a red stone. Great job.

Thanks everyone......love this stone....
as far as do I do anything special in the grooving goes...no...I just go in there and groove it! lol
How I get that polish on the stones.....well....lol......a LOT of practice, and daily working on it until I figured out a way to get them where I want them to be. it took me awhile to figure out what works best for me, but I finally got there!! lol
yes, I am gonna do a tutorial on this wrap...soon as I can get the time to put it together....pictures and all that.....and figure out how to make it in a PDF form
thanks again guys!!

It is amazing how you get that perfect bevel on the edges. I am going to try using a tapered diamond burr in the drill press but I have doubts about getting them smooth. You do some fantastic work.
