Simple and elegant. I like very much the Montana (?) in the left side and the lacey pendant in the right side of the picture.

Awesome John. I really like the inside curves. Probably because they are almost impossible to do on my machine and you did excellent on them. Jim

Beautiful. How do you drill into the gemstone and where do you get the top part? (I'm a new rockhound)

Jukerocks, generally speaking, jewelry bits are all called "findings" (that confused me for a while) - on a pendant the part that I bought is called the bail.
I got these locally in a jewelry supply store, but I know some kinds of the findings are for sale on therockshed.com
In this case, after vibratory-tumble polishing I roughed the back with my diamond wheel and used an epoxy to glue these on.
There is a set of instructions on drilling somewhere around here, if I find it I will post a link. Welcome to the forum!

Thanks all,
Krystee, that one is my favorite as well - my wife didn't initially like it which bummed me out, but it grew on her and now she loves it!
