That is really one nice and clean bail design for a teardrop shape. Perfect!

Very nice I like that twist bezel. I don't know what to call it but I like it.

I gotta say- I like your style! I like the high polished look. It seems everyone textures or patinas or both. I know the polished pieces are harder to pull off- they are for me, at least.

I would say high polished is much harder to pull off. It's why southwest style is so appealing to smiths...all ya need is a quick liver of sulfur dip and a brushing with 000 steel wool. I spend hours burning my fingers at the buffer to get every tool mark and bit of fire stain off. back

Really beautiful. I've just started trying to learn silversmithing and you really set the bar high.

Don that is utter perfection! I too love the high polish look, but I usually give up before it's fully achieved I would love to see a side view. I'm fascinated by the bail.

Great. The high glass and simple style compliment the stone so well.

I'm fascinated by the bail. it's on it's way to it's owner now, but I'll try to snap a few more pics of the next one I do. It's made out of round wire that was planished in the middle, folded over itself to make the bail and each "arm" forged/shaped across each other.
