Stunning! I have to agree with what Randy said too. They really pop with the gold.

Wow KD,
Amber gives as good as she gets and Lapis is always from the heart. Those cabs and settings do justice to a stone that is so blue it's untrue. I love the perfect finish and the understated settings. Excellent results, you can see the fun you had doing them. Thanks for sharing your treasures and congratulations on a fine job!
Cheers,
Harry.

KD: I am glad you were able to make such a beautiful set with that lapis! It was the deal of the year and now gone! 2 pounds of AAA grade for $10 on ebay, however the pieces I have left are more white and sort of crumbly! The best pieces were top notch though. I am sorry I couldn't share with everyone! KD you sent me beautiful slabs! I am so happy I sent something you enjoyed. Wear that set with pride! Amber

Fantastic work KD! Your high domes really show off well with the prong mounts you made.
