Hub, that's perfect. The copper works so well with the stone. What a great way to wear a symbol of faith, too.

Hi guys, and thanks! Yes used a diamond slitter to carve out the lines, used adhesive to set the copper wire, then went back to the wheels and ground down cab and copper together. The store owner downtown here where I have my jewlery asked me to make several more of these type.( Also the cab is grooved with 18ga.)
