My order from Santa Fe Jewelers Supply arrived. I was thrilled. I can work. But then my torch died. That, no good, flee market, cheep torch died. I just had to buy new one. ;D I had to. You understand me, don't you (my wife didn't). So, this is my third silverwork - and most complicated, so far. Stones: Blue Chalcedony from Fruska Gora Mt (36x23mm) and Chrysoprase (9mm). Pendant (with bail) - 58 mm. Thanks for looking. Zoran

just tell her that I said it was "ok" --- that should do it for you !! ;D ;D-------- or you could enter the contest at "stoneage industries" like I did and win the $50 prize -- then you could get it for free!! ( or some more rocks ! ;D)---- and that looks GREAT!!

Very Nice Zoran. I think those colors really look quite well together, and your silversmithing looks flawless. You really should enter the stone age contest. I think it would be a sure winner. Steve

Zoran, you're a true jeweler! Give that beauty to your wife as a gift, and I bet she won't be angry on you any more . Adrian

Thank you all. I am using some kind of mini torch that works on buttan propan mixture. I don't know who is going to get this piece. My wife tried it first, but then her younger sister and our good friend. ;D

Well Zoran, I think you can stop saying "attempted" and start saying "completed" with confidence.
