Hi, everyone! Remember these cabs? These days my jeweler had mercy on me and he finally finished the setting. The hidden bail of the pendant was my idea and I'm glad I had it, because I think this way the stone really stays in the focus Thanks for looking, Adrian PS. Now I see that I might go back to the jeweler and ask him to bend the golden border over the stones a bit tighter, what do you think?

imho the hidden bail is dead on. The cabs are beautiful and did not need embellisment. I think the boarders looks great but I'm not a silversmith.

Great looking set Adrian! I also like having the bail hidden. Bruneau has such neat patterns it's always a shame to have anything that draws the eye away from the stone......Mel

I think the settings look great, I like the hidden bale on the back, I wouldn't change a thing.

Beautiful settings for beautiful stones! Working with metal like that isn't too hard, or too expensive if you use silver at least, you should give it a shot.

They are just beautiful, Adrian! I agree... you should teach yourself to solder silver. You are so good at doing stuff. T

Thank you everyone! SirRox and Tony, I didn't do the step to metal-smithing yet. YET. Adrian

Perfect design on those, Adrian! Like everyone else has said, that hidden bail works really, really well on these stones.

Nice settings! I really like how it is hidden so you don't loose any of the stones beauty. Fran
