I see how you did that! Very creative and beautiful. I have everything I need to try a tube setting except the courage and time. Great job

That looks really complicated to do, but dare I say, fun? I like it, it has so much going on. Love the texture.

Actually I kind of figured it would be perfect LOL. Ya I know I need to get at it but I have all the labradorite rings to do first. I will get there, likely take a break from the rings to try a tube setting.

Lovely, lovely, lovely ring. I guarantee whoever wears that ring will be getting a lot of looks. I love the different colors of the metals and stone. A perfect blend for sure.

I wish I could find some nice BO! I'd be cutting it, too. I look and look and never find anything decent at a decent price.

Oh, me and opal are a match made in heaven, lol. She is an expensive mistress, and often treats me badly, but I'm hooked beyond all hope I'm down to rubble now, or hunt and peck rough, and it's hard to find the good stuff that cuts easy. Everybody knows about opal, and they are too willing to pay too much, so the price goes up and the quality goes down. Are you still working that stuff you got from Gene? I still want to go down there and hand pick my rough like you did!! Tony
