This is a ring and bracelet I made my wife for our 7 year anniversary last month. They are pre-made sterling silver that I dropped the cabs into.   These are the pendants I had to make for my wife's friends after they saw my wife's stuff and begged for something blue.  And these are a collaborative pair of plugs. I made the cabs then a friend inlayed into ebony wood, he did a hell of a job.  This is all turquoise I'd purchased from Phil. Thanks for looking, Tim |

Really like those last ones. I like the combination of materials.

They are all beautiful. I like unfussy designs that are about the stone instead of about the metal. You put the focus where it belongs -- on the Turquoise. Thinking of stealing your design for the drilled Turquoise pendant...I like the shape and the simplicity of the drilled stone. I may try it in Amber.

Thanks everyone. That drilled pendant is cabbed on both sides, drilled than sort of carved open to a slight V shape. I don't like the abrupt edge of a strait punch threw.

Thanks for the tip on the drilling. I'll keep it in my mind...

Nice!
I noticed you're getting an orange peel effect on your stones. Are you polishing all the way up to 14K?
I go to 14K, then final polish on slightly damp, not wet, leather with TO and get a nice mirror finish. I can try and post a pic showing the finish if you'd like...
Either way, they all look nice! That particular type of turquoise is believed to be Kingman, and she just sent me her last 7+ pounds to sell... Can't decide whether to keep it or sell it... hehehe. The mine's storefront sells the same stuff for double what she is asking... dilemma, dilemma!
