I hadn't made any silver pieces in several weeks. I was having withdrawls LOL Been watching what I made of silver because of the price of replacing it these days. But there was this basic design floating around in my mind. To use an inverted teardrop or arrowhead shape stone. With another above it in geometric shape (round, square, oval or rectangular). So yesterday I started playing with a few sketches to try out size & shapes. Then tried diferent combinations of stones for color & patterns. These are what I came up with. The main stones are Variscite & crazy Lace. Hope you like them & thanks for looking.

I really enjoy seeing work from someone who does both the stone and the smithing. The color in those stones is fantastic and you really captured their beauty in your silver work. Garry

Beautiful work, the combinations came out super. I call this shape a 'Man Magnet' since it points right to where most men focus. I would never have thought of the colour combination of coral, variscite, and turquoise?, but it looks great.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
