That is some very nice silversmithing work...what a skill you have! I especially like that 1st one. But...then again, when I scroll through them...I keep changing my mind. Steve

GORGEOUS!!! My favorite is the first one, but it's so hard to pick, I really do like them all. Your silversmithing work looks really clean, too.

I normally don't comment of pieces with large settings or excess wire because I hate it when the metal overpowers the stone. I am making an exception here because these pieces show how to use larger settings without overpowering the stone. Very nice work indeed.

I agree that sometimes the settings are overdone and I'm guilty of it. I try to make many of my pieces work around the stone not the other way around. Besides the stone should be the focal point. That's why we all spend so much time polishing these things.

Wow, I love the first one. I like big and bold pieces, and they are all great. I love the design you do with the silver, very unique, and different, and I think it still highlights the stones, but the silver work is really incredible. I enjoy seeing your work.

Awesome work! Those are really nice cabs of graveyard, excellent material and your settings are flawless. I'm doing some catch up;, so I'm going to comment on your fire agates here too. The first one has nice fire and the second one is just as nice, even with most of it being matrix. I like the matrix as cabs.
