Thanks! She was very happy with it. I know I undercharged for it but you got to start somewhere. She's bought 2 & one of the other girls bought one but it kind of gets the word out & that has value in itself.

Great job on them Donnie! I have been having the hardest time with rose quartz! Seems to undercut right as I think I have it where it can go to the next wheel. After seeing your work, I think I need to go try again! Those wraps really complement them as well! Fran

Fran, I used tumbled stones to do these wraps. Since I wasn't charging as much most of the labor was in the wrapping. The tumbler did the rest of the work!

I find nothing wrong with using Tumbled stones I would like to do a cab someday, but I don't have the equipment. I'm trying to sell a couple myself, but my gf only gives me the not so good ones to sell.
Did you trim them at all, or were you lucky enough to have some stones the similar size?

I sorted through them until I found a couple of similar size & shape.

The silver and rose quartz make a beautiful combination. Makes me want to try my hand at wrapping something.
