I found this while checking out my daily sites and found this to be quite spectacular (and the fact that it's made of sterling silver just makes it all the more wonderful!)

I'll probably "borros" the idea and give it a try soon - except it will be made of stainless steel (maybe sterling silver if it should work out okay)

Thought I'd share

I've done that pattern before but never thought to put a center piece like that. I'm gonna have to give this one a try soon!

Tweet, when you made your cab like that, do you do the rings then glue it around the stone or what?

Cher they must be glued on as they pop out if no glue is used. -

There are at least two different ring sizes used here, maybe three with the wrapped cab part

Of course the fact that it's made of shiny sterling silver makes it all the more beautiful

But I really want to try this out anyways - would make a nice chocker too!

Wow, beautiful piece. Is that what is considered 'chain mail?'
And, can you crochet wire? Anyone ever tried? I do string crochet (small stuff), why not thin wire? Would have to be very thin and flexible wire, or it would kink. Just an idea... but intriguing.

Surprise: to cause to feel wonder or astonishment by being unexpected. Happens every time I crack (now cut!) a rock.
