I whupped this out this evening. Tried something a bit different (different for me, anyway) - only used 2 wires around it instead of 3. I still haven't decided if I like it or not. Also can't decide which is front and which is back. Oh, well, here 'tis. I guess this might be the front And the back Getting the wires kinda centered on the stone turned out to be darn near impossible, cause I needed 6 fingers on it at once, and 2 is about the best I could manage! As always, danke schön! Tom

Nice one Tom. I think you picked the right side for the front.

Is the wire silver or gold - hard to tell with flash? Cool stone.

Keep at it, you are doing great and the beauty is that it is reversable. For today, I think I like the side in the first pic but tomorrow I might decide the second pic. It is fun to have choices

Thanks, folks. Toad - the wire is 925 sterling. The problem is that I haven't yet built my light box - waiting until I get a round tuit, ya know. The pic was at night, under my dining room lights. Some things come out looking a bit off that way, but for now, it'll have to do! Tom PS - The thing I liked most about this one is the perfect pattern shift in the stone - looks like it was cut and glued back together offset. God did that, not me!

Cool, I would have said gold doesn't go with the stone. Good choice.

Hmmm, it is hard to decide what side is best but I think I prefer the second side. Something about the smaller, bow tie look. Good Job! Fran

I like this, it is really pretty, sometimes it is good to have it so you can wear it either way or it flips it still looks pretty. You are getting good, you soon will be a pro. Donna
