A couple weeks ago I saw some wonderful looking imperial jasper that NDK and MsAli had in their shop. I had to have it! I saw something like this in my head when I saw the slab. Hopefully, I did justice to that wonderful stone!  |

When we picked this rough out I knew it was something special. It didn't take long to get it on the saw. I was blown away!
John you more than did it justice. The pendant is gorgeous 😍

Yes, wonderful it is! I really like your stamping on the silver ring on which the setting sits, and how that 'extends' the lines in the cab. The multiple ring bail is clever and fits well with the design. I don't think that it needed the gold balls.

Glad I could grab the slab up before someone else did and... what someone would you be referring to?  Seriously though I saw it right when they posted it and I was going to pull the trigger and got side tracked. By the time I got back there it was gone  As I told you before, from the looks of it I think it ended up in the right hands without a doubt! Gorgeous stone and gorgeous silver work! |

The multiple ring bail is clever and fits well with the design. I don't think that it needed the gold balls. Thanks Gary! As always, I appreciate your comments and seeing things through your eyes. I wanted to add a hint of gold color somewhere on the piece because I thought it would add a nice complimentary color. My girlfriend almost always says to leave them off. But with this piece, I was also trying to get an implied 'peace sign' vibe with them. May or may not have worked out! Luckily I have a bit more of the slab to play with. |

Tommy, I'm seriously trying to buy fewer stones since I have a lifetime's supply to play with. But I saw this and just had to break my own rule lol! Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it. |

I love it! The cab is awesome, but I love how the pendant works with it.
To me it kinda has a nautical appeal.

Thanks Tela! Your comment is interesting in that my girlfriends daughter said it reminded her of a pirate ship’s steering wheel lol! |
