Well, I hope everyone had a great holiday so far. I finally took time to sit and relax. To me, that's wrapping!! So here's a few pieces I did. My two neices came over on Christmas eve day and really liked my pendants and polished stones. I gave them each their choice of a pendant with bellcap. They wanted them all!! LOL I also let them pick one polished stone that they would like wrapped. The oldest one, 13, picked the malachite triangle and the younger one 10, picked a piece of opalized wood. Here they are wrapped, the stones, not my neices LOL. My mother had two rubies she found in Franklin, N. Carolina last July. She had them cabbed at the mine, but not set. She gave them to me on Christmas day and asked if I could do anything with them. The rubies are approx. 5 - 6mm. VERY SMALL!!! This is what I came up with. I tried to make them the same, but one ruby has a higher dome than the other. These will fit on earring hooks. BTW- Thank you to anyone that has passed my website along to others. I have made 3 sales and am tickled to death. Thanks for looking. Tonja

Very nice. I like the way you did the malachite. The rubies must have been difficult. Nice looking rubies.

The malachite is beautiful - any chance of a back shot if it isn't too late?
