Cool designs on all of them! You have been busy.

My favorite is the first one, though. Beautiful stone and it's cut in one of my favorite shapes. Love the designing you did around it!

All very nice Bill, but the 2nd one with the green stone is outstanding.

I like the "rope" bezel that ties in with the "rope" chain, and the green stone looks like it has a stylized heart in the middle.

Very nice.

Thanks for sharing,

Patty

Ok Bill, you were holding out on us! You need to show any pierce work you do on the backs.

That horse is awesome!

The second one is called Mohave Green. It is reconstituted turquoise from Kingman Mines.

The third is called Rosarita. As I understand.....it is slag glass which was a by-product of a gold recovery smelting process used in Alaska in the 60s-70s.

"That talented" LOL I wish!
I search with Google Images. Enter whatever you are looking for, followed by "drawing outline". Then literally print and paste.
I find Rio Gold Laser saw blades work well. The back corner of the blade is rounded allowing you to cut contours much easier.
