it's been a little cold to do a lot of cutting and grinding downstairs, much more comfortable sitting upstairs beading and watching the snow fall.....anyway, here are a few that i finished. this first one is a Larvakite cab, done up with some freshwater pearls and silver findings: ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/krazyD/larva01.jpg) this next one is a turquoise cab with some black material (?) with glass beads: ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/krazyD/turq01.jpg) and this is my favorite, though probably a necklace that only a rockhound would appreciate....i realized when i finished it, even though i thougt it was kinda neat, it isn't something most people would think as "pretty" jewelry... ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/krazyD/turragate02.jpg) close up: ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/krazyD/turragate01.jpg) the cab is turritela agate and the beads are light and dark brazilian agate. thanks for looking!

I like the last one, is it just me or are the large dark bead holes off centre? - like they're on an angle - Re-read this and it sounds wrong - I should have said that I liked the off-centre holes - adds a little "je ne sais quoi?"
Also have to ask again, those settings, could you tell me where you got them, how to set them and if you remember how much each are - someone asked me for 3 tiger eyes on a necklace - probably beaded memory wire but I recall those settings are a bit pricey - am I wrong?

I love seeing the jewelry pics! I'm really trying to get more gemstone into my jewelry. Your necklaces are gorgeous! My mom would love the turitella one, don't think only a rockhound would love it!

Love your bead work KD.. I think I've said it before but it's worth repeating; you have a great eye for color and symetry.
