Close ups show the mistakes.

Do you mind if I ask who's tute it was? It looks kinda like Bobbi Wired's (Bobbi Maw's) work. Very nice design. Prongs are always tough the first time.

This is a very good tutorial! If anyone is looking for something very simple, not elaborate but with the possibility of expanding it some, this one is well worth. Very easy to follow!

Jason, I am not so sure I could anneal silver filled wire. I did fix that one prong, btw. I got me a good pair of Swanstrom flat nose pliers yesterday, grabbed my magnifying glass & went through all the prongs to fine tune them. Everything is good now!

Wondered if you would be making a pair of earrings to match with the amethyst ring and pendant?

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)
