this is victoria stone provided to me from firewalker and i added the moonstones. i've got 3 more to do. this was a new style for me. well finally i got my new barrel and shot so i could tumble this to harden it. i contaminated the other barrel and if anyone knows how to decontaminate one please let me know or do i just use it for rocks now and chunk the old shot. 1st i wrapped the cab then i made the border and clamped it so i could attach the inner wrap to it completed before tumbling after tumbling kim

Kim, Whhhhaaaaaaowwwww. That is beautiful! The stone is so deep and blue. I love the new style. It's just amazing. It looks very involved but it came out great. How did you make the center wire in the outside part twist like that? Steve

Gorgeous Kim! I don't understand, why would you tumble it after you are finished with it?

Awesome! I really like the the three facets at the top and one at the bottom. Creates a nice feel. Plus the bow at the top - nice touch. Great job!

steve you can twist your own wire but i prefer to buy it twisted from rio grande in the 20 guage ss.
debs tumbling it at the end hardens the wire and shines the silver. and they are not kidding when they say you have to have a separate barrel for the argentium ss. but ms hard head just had to see for herself.....costly little experiment! but not as costly as the vibrating lap motor will be!

WOW; that is amazing. I love everything; the moonstones are a great added touch. I bet they pick up some of the blue from the Victoria stone. It is like candles around a blue pool. If you're not careful, we may start writing poetry about it ;D Super amazing job on the wire wrap facets on those moonstones. I wish I had smaller fingers and more talent; you are having way to much fun.
