Here are two cabs that I cut awhile ago and finally got them set. The pictures of the pendants are not the best, still strugling with my light setup. The Fire Agate   The Korit Boulder Opal   |

nice silver are you making settings with bezel-wire embedded in PMC, or is the thing cast? All of my settings are made from sheet and bezel wire. The texture on these is something new i have been playing with, it is partially reticulated and the edges are a torch treatment also. |

WOWOWWOWOWOWOWWOWOW
Love that opal!!! Love the setting, the fire agate is beautiful as well. The shine on them is unreal, what set up are you using to cab? Even that opal looks like glass, tough stuff to work so beautifully!

Pure artistry. The silver work is really creative, the shine on the cabs is like a mirror, and the overall effect is stunning.

Even that opal looks like glass, tough stuff to work so beautifully! Amber Amber, I use the standard 80/100 and 220 hard diamond wheels and then 280, 600, 1200, and 3000 nova wheels then 8,000 , 14,000 , and finally 50,000 diamond paste on poly-tex pads. Glad you like them and thank you all for the positive comments. |

The creativity you put into your silverwork is outstanding, and then to add such beautiful cabs, the combination is truely astonishing.

:drool: :drool: :drool: OK, first off, I just drooled all over my keyboard. There was not a warning ;D.
You are a true artist and your smithing abilities as well as your cabbing are just outstanding!
