My photo doesn't do these sterling pendants justice but maybe you'll get a hint of how spectacular they are. These are the stones I requested to be set in silver by Don (DLC Gems). The Regency Rose Graveyard Point is by Biker Randy, the Petoskey Stone was by Spheremaker or Rattlehead (I know him by different names on different sites), and I am the cutter of the Blue Amazonite. Really a great job. Thanks to Don, Randy, and Jim

I'm so happy that you like the settings! Thank you so much peachfront for the opportunity to set these stones for you. It was a pleasure to work with such fine stones! Here's my pictures of the finished pieces. Bikerrandy awesome GYP Plume agate backed with black stone Spheremaker or Rattlehead's Petrosky Stone peachfront stunning amazonite. I put a large bail on this one for wearing on a heavy leather cord.

Oh, Don, your pictures are so spectacular! I need to download them for my own photo album. Oh, yes, definitely, I have a nice leather thong all ready for the Amazonite. I don't know if I mentioned it before, or it's a question of great minds think alike...

I like how the texture on the bale repeats the pattern in the petoskey stone. Perfection!

The petoskey and the amazonite go everywhere. The graveyard point appeared at a fine restaurant in New Orleans last night. They're all very useful and beautiful!

I am back. Much more later. But as a quick headsup I wore the Amazonite piece in Nepal, and people were constantly complimenting me on it & asking if it was a native piece made from local or Tibetan turquoise & silver!!! Since I cut the stone, I was truly flattered. But I think Don's silverwork takes the credit for providing such a fine setting that no one would guess it was an amateur stone cutting job set inside...
