You could use a stepped bezel and make pendants.
You could drill holes in them and make a necklace.

Wow, nice pieces Snuffy! They would sure look nice in a resin top table. I am saving up smalls and larger clears for aquarium gravel and stones. Going to put a light under the tank, can't be brighter than the overhead light though, or the fish will try to swim upside down.

Those are good lookin snuffy, copper foil the edges and solder up a lamp shade. They look just the right size. Jim

Beautiful! I was going to say lampshade material but Jim said the same thing. They will be great for what ever you decide to do with them! Fran

If you are interested in swapping them for something I have, let me know. I would like to make another hurricane lamp like the one I did out of glass but instead I would like to use stone and I don't have enough small transparent pieces. For that matter, I don't know if you ever sell items, but if you are thinking about it, you are welcome to PM me. I don't know if you guys remember the experiment I did in glass for the candle holder, and it stood up very well for hours and days during the storm when we had no power. Cleaning out the candle wax after wasn't too bad, since I put sand in the bottom. So now that I'm confident it works, I'd like to make a good one with stone:

Hope you come up with a good use for those, they sure are cool. Do you cut all your slabbets yourself? Must go through a lot of blades.
