Always after them in my stones. This one showed up in a slab and dictated that it not be cut small. The cab is 2.25"x1.25". Pretty big ( 3") pendent. As it turns out though I have a friend who is a nurse practitioner who loves these big pendants. She said they were great especially for kids to look and play with (she has big chains) as she examines them.  |

 Cool pendant, and great idea the nurse has. Is that a grooved setting?

This has been my mounting style for a couple years.
I have no artistic ability when it comes to wire wrapping.
And I cut so many cabs I had to come up with a mount.
And yea Pat it's a groove. We call it the JimWrap.
I make the part at the top. I call that piece the frog.
Thanks for asking.

Beauty of a cab and I like the simplicity of the groove wrap.

The way I have fun telling it is...
I wrap the wire around the stone in the groove. Then I stick the 2 wires up the frogs a$$. Twist um around. Then I shove um back in him.
Then I give the frog a little kiss and it becomes a prince. Holding the stone forever...LMBO
Ok... I'm nuts... And I like rocks...

Is that a crimp bead on top? If so, there are attractive bead-like crimp covers.... I like the whole thing.
