These are really beautiful. I absolutely love that Gem Silica pendant. I love how he set the prongs in the carved grooves. Boy is that one pretty!

Nice job. It's always good to see someone learn something new. Seriously! You're dad is off to a great start with his jewelry making skills.

Nice work. They appear to be made from lost wax.

Wow! Dad learned well. He may be new to silversmithing, but he certainly isn't new to lapidary work! Great job!
