robert i saw that man's face too. let me go get a pic of a save i made the other day. i was meaning to wrap the pendant stone and something went bad wrong. just worked out perfectly that whatever i did to destroy the pendant wrapping went nicely on one of the matching earrings. now i'm scared to try to make the match though. trying to get my nerve up to go forward on this one. daniel sent me the set.

ok i had this all ready to put the round pendant stone in and pulled on the top wires to tighten and the whole thing took on a new shape

. i was sick but the earring stone fit in perfectly so i just kept going.

got lucky on that one though i did have to waste alot of top wire when cutting off the ends as i had measured for the larger stone. but it was better than wasting the whole thing!

You're right, great save. Now, can you duplicate the same thing for the other earring?

I hate when I don't measure right but most of the time you can find something smaller that will fit. Never toss good wire!!
