That is beautiful Adrian! I do love to work lapis, and it is great in jewelry. If you haven't yet, try tin oxide on leather with it. I've had good luck with tin on most everything. T

TW- I agree tin almost always gives shine without cracking stones like cerium. Amber

Very, very classy!!! The wrap and stone work as one to be really beautiful! I have a few slabs I just got from Jamie and I'm anxious to cab some. Can you send me the link to the polishing advice you got? You are a MASTER!!! Susan
