Well guys and gals...I have a friend who wanted me to do a special wrap for her 11 yr old daughter as a christmas gift. Sooo...I got the stuff together and this is what came out of it. She demanded to pay me, so I only charged $35. Front Back I made it with a 10mm x 5mm marquise peridot and 21 ga square ds sterling silver (and, yes, the bindings are square ds sterling as well. Didn't have any half round hh.) Sorry, but the pics were taken with my same ol' crappy camera. Enjoy and thanks for looking Rus

P.S.: The peridot I used was requested because it is the birthstone of the little girl I made it for.

That is beautiful, it is my birthstone as well. Was it difficult working with that small of a stone? Tami

Thanks Tami Actually, I set the stone in a sterling snapset. The small size made it impossible to wrap a custom setting. Especially with my butter fingers, I'm just too much of a clutz...lol
