Custom order, wanted an arrow head inspired setting for it. I think it turned out nice. and here's another look at my lapis inlay cuff:

Don, Love the Royston Turquoise pendant. I like the contrast between black textured & shiny smooth. Did you texture it after or before soldering on the bezel & rim? The cuff ain't too shabby either. Lynn

I thought it was supposed to be a heraldic shape till I read it was arrowhead shaped, but either way it looks very elegant. the Triangular "ring" that attaches the pendent to the chain really helps make the design and complements it perfectly.

Lynn Thanks Lynn, the back plate was textured prior to soldering. It's a roller milled sand paper texture. Sold the cuff today at the market...now I can make another one.

Both pieces are super-elegant. I really like your approach to turq & silver. The sleek modern modified shadow-box design is really fine. I admire your patience in cutting and fitting all those lapis inlays. They're very precise and match almost perfectly.

I LOVE that pendant!!!! I love the way the black shadow box frames up the smooth colorful stone.
