I've got a show Fri & Sat & just finished these 8 silver pendants. The Holt and Royston are self-collected. Montana Moss agate, Noreena Jasper, Maybe Purple Passion agate, Sonora Sunrise with a bit of Azurite on the tip Tiffany Stone, Holt Canyon Plume agate, Dino Bone Royston Turquoise If you detect a prong kick here, you're right. I did a few when I wanted to set a Montana Moss with a honey colored tip. A bezel would have let less light in. Light is a honey-colored tip MMoss's best friend! Prongs take more time (maybe) than bezels, but fit certain stones/designs best. I know the photo doesn't do each pendant justice, but the camera battery & tablet battery conked out at the same time. Maybe close-ups later. Lynn

Nice stones, nicely presented in the silverwork. I hope they sell out quickly (they sure will attract eyes).

Very nice work! For me, the one that stands out from the rest is the second in the top row. The positive and negative features of the silver really enhance the strong lines of the jasper and make an interesting piece. My eyes move along those lines to the silver and then back around to the other side of the pendant to do it again.

OK, only the Noreena jasper pendant & some older ones sold - a Royston Turquoise, Holt Canyon moss/plume agate, Cedar City agate wire wrap & one of my wife's beaded necklaces. It was still a great show. The weather cooperated. There were less people, but the right ones came to my booth. The sky looked like rain, so most vendors started packing up about 5:15 on Sat. I was more optimistic & stayed another hour and a half. When I was just one of maybe 4 vendors left, a family that had bought a $140 pendant on Fri came back & spent $450 more! They were buying gifts for co-workers & family. Lynn
