Well, thought I would give my hand a go at the bracelets....these are the results. I had to do the first one ever from memory, because my son had the computer tied up most of the day, but I don't think it's too bad. And, because it turned out 1/2 way decent...I'm keeping it!! 1st one ever This was my 2nd one This one did not do what I wanted it to in the beginning, so it's just a plain copper bangle Then this one, I just finished up a little while ago. THIS I am proud of. I made the bezel and everything all by hand, and out of the same wire I use for everything else. While it may not be perfect......this sucker is extreeeeeemly pretty! And yes, the stone is very secure, it's not coming out of there, but because I crochet, I have had to learn to hide things, like cut ends when changing colors yarn so you can't see them, and I applied that same idea to this. Making the bezel, and securing the stone in it took me 3 hours, but finally I got it in there. Hope you like them and as always....thanx for lookin!!! Marie

Those are terrific bracelets. You should be proud of them - I'm totally scared to death of even trying to do one. WTG!

I think the hardest part was getting the stones to stay still long enough to secure them, but other than that, it's not as hard as I thought it would be. The last one however, now that was a challenge making that bezel. Part of the 3 hours it took, was staring at it trying to figure out how I was gonna make it work. I am very excited about these....as it was something I had been putting off doing, I was afraid I would really screw it up, so, wooohooo I DID IT!!!
