Beautiful schiller in that stone!

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

Well I just learned a new word today! Checked that off my to-do list early today! LOL

Bravura Cabochon Designs - Another beauty!! I'm still too chicken coprolite to work cabs that small. Not so much because of the cabbing aspect...I just don't want to have to work a wrap that small! LOL - The pictures make this piece look amazing...and I know you'll probably say the pics don't do it justice...it's gotta look killer in person!

khara thanks. I’m trying to focus on some rings, so these should make it into the silversmithing mix sooner than later. I might make a pendant with the sunstone though.

rockjunquie thanks!

jasoninsd maybe you could leave the cab on the dop and clamp the dop stick in a vise to hold the cab while you wrap it?

I just don't think my fat fingers are designed to work stuff that small! LOL
