Hi everyone, These are the first two pendants that I made out of the slabs that I recently got from Stonesthatrock. The Amethyst Sage is my girls' favorite. If you ask me, especially today, I woulkdn't say the same: I had to redo it five times because of some stubborn scratches. Then I noticed that one of the diamond pads was dammaged and when I replaced it the things went smooth. It still think this material is a bit more difficult than it seems at first sight. I like the trees in the backlight: A side view: And this is the seccond one, a porcelain jasper. Really difficult to decide about framing a cab, the slabs are full of cool patterns. Thanks for looking, Adrian

Adrain: I can see why the girls like the Amethyst Sage, what a beauty!! That was worth the effort!!! The other is beautiful as well, but I really like that first one! Amber

Wow Adrian. You really outdid yourself on these. They are really beautiful. I like them both and the backlight really shows the trees in the forest. Ken

Those are outstanding! You do such a nice job wrapping the bail. Are you using round or half-round on that part? I've tried two groove-wraps and used round wire to wrap the bail, but I cannot get the bail wrap to look anywhere near as neat as yours.

Thank you everyone, I'm glad you like them.
Garry, I hammer the round wire that I use for the coils of the bail, this way it becomes flat.

Adrian:
Those are just amazing. You do such good work, you actually make me want to do a few groove wraps. I really like the amethyst sage with the plumes.

Your cabs and groove wraps are flawless and both of these cabs amazing scenes in them. Just beautiful.

Geez! Those are both beautiful! I have some of the porcelain Jasper but haven't done anything with it yet. Looks like it takes a great shine! The Amathyst sage is spectacular! Fran
