These are some of the tumbled pieces of the finger coral that Earth Relics Jewelry did the gold electroplating on for me. I added a little opal doublet to this one.  This one has a garnet nestled down inside.  A pair of earrings  |

Thats a really different type of cab! What makes the gold stick to the rock?

This was tumbled several times in the tumbler. I sent it to a free4rms on the forum that does electroplating who did that part for me.

My old friend Bill Burke sold Florida coral for years.He said finger coral was his best selling coral.That is the first time i ever saw it.I see why it sells well.Especially with those setups.Nice workmanship Donnie.

Yup, nothing ever gets wasted in your hands. Looks great and I especially like the combos.

I love your creativity, Donnie--you picked great stuff to send for electroforming, then finished it to perfection. (or was the perfection first?--either way, it works so well together.)
