Labradorite and Pearls. This one isn't quite perfect but I'm glad I followed through with finishing it anyway. Labradorite ring, brushed finish. Brushed finishes are sooooooo easy! LOL Royston turquoise ring, brushed finish.

Again elegant and substantial at the same time. On the pendants with the curved wire, what guage is the wire?

Pearls are perfect with the labradorite! Everything else would be less. Beautiful work.

Pearls better than moonstone. Moonstone would be almost more of the same. Pearls less so.

The only thing better than your workmanship are your designs.

Beautiful. That lab ring is stunning. I did the brushed finish on a copper ring and it's fantastic! I did mine by sanding, is that how you did yours?

I have a small beautiful piece an I'm a little skittish about cabbing because everything I've read says it's very Heat sensitive and fragile.

Don, Do you have any tips on cabbing the Lab? I have a small beautiful piece an I'm a little skittish about cabbing because everything I've read says it's very Heat sensitive and fragile. It's not bad, just go slow and keep the stone wet.
