Had this piece of stabilized turquoise that came with a parcel of Number 8, unknown origin. This was made for a friend.

I had cut and polished this a while back and didn't really like it, a friend seen it laying there and asked me to do something for her with it. I do think it looks a lot better set than it did just staring at me for the last year or so. I think it was radio that said to sand down the border for a cut look, I like the way that looked. I also use his wax rubbed behind the saw blade now which doesn't clog my blades. Thanks to all who liked this.

Cool piece! after soldering and trial fitting the twist, I run both sides over a flat file, fit and solder. after trimming excess silver, I also file the outside edges of the trim just a bit.
