This is my latest set. It's Flor de Durazno or Flower of Peach Lace Agate. It's displayed on our new card with our new logo and tagline.  |

Thanks, jasoninsd and rockjunquie . Glad you guys like it. We were actually going to preview a few ideas here and get opinions. We've had the name for a while and of course it's a play on our last name. We came up with the logo and tagline this weekend and liked it enough that we just went with it. We got a corner rounding punch and an 1/8" hole punch to make the cards. We have a punch for earring cards too but it doesn't work with a pendant. What can I say about bigfoot. I'm a sucker for a good dad joke. |

Excellent card- looks professionally made with the rounded corners, and nicely put together logo. The jewelry set is equally nice
I like your ear wires - I tend to put a bead on mine, I like the idea of the wrap.

Thanks liveoak Patty, I can't take credit for the wires. I wanted hypoallergenic so those are purchased made from niobium. |

Cool set, and I really like your presentation. The rounded corners give the card an ‘expensive’ look, and your tagline ROCKS! Lol, sorry, had to.  |

Thanks Patty, I was really happy with how close the match. Looks awesome Gary! Very snazzy looking! Thanks ashley. I appreciate it. really cool set. wonderful color tones!! Thanks, dillonf. Funny because I got the rough about the same time I got a bunch of peaches and made some pies. OH MY !!!! Makes me wish I wore jewelry ! These are terrific ! Great presentation as well, rockbrain Thanks, RockyBeach. I keep trying to make something that I would wear and haven't come up with it yet! Cool set, and I really like your presentation. The rounded corners give the card an ‘expensive’ look, and your tagline ROCKS! Lol, sorry, had to. Thanks, michiganpebbler. I agree, the rounded corners really add something. The punches are pretty inexpensive. rockbrain those cabs look great and so does your card for the jewelry. Great work there!

rockbrain I wanted some rough. I liked your cabs so much that I did a search and found some at JH Kalmore and ordered 10lbs of rough about an hour ago. Should be here next week.

What a nice job you've done on everything! I really can't add to the compliments you've already received, so I'll just say I agree with all of them.

Very nice display. Simple, not over-worked, yet still unique. The pendant and earrings are able to be the star while at the same time there is a definite branding. 👍👍

rockbrain I wanted some rough. I liked your cabs so much that I did a search and found some at JH Kalmore and ordered 10lbs of rough about an hour ago. Should be here next week. Ok you were serious! Hope you enjoy the rough and post some pics here. I thought I might have an extra slab I would sell. What a nice job you've done on everything! I really can't add to the compliments you've already received, so I'll just say I agree with all of them. Thanks susand24224. I appreciate it. Very nice display. Simple, not over-worked, yet still unique. The pendant and earrings are able to be the star while at the same time there is a definite branding. 👍👍 Thanks khara. I appreciate the kind words. rockbrain Where is the "Flower of Peach Lace Agate" from. It looks like Sarape Agate. I purchased it from lapidarycentral. On the JH Kalmore website it says that the claim is 50 meters from where they mine Laguna Lace. It's my understanding that Crazy Lace, Sarape, Laguna and others are in very close proximity to each other. |

Thank you Gary, glad to see those turned out so gorgeous! You really did a great job with them.
Yep, Flower of Peach is mined right off of the Laguna Lace Agate mine. It is a gorgeous one that is often pretty solid and has these nice, more passive, colorations! It's one of the lace family that I've always loved working with!
