I gave up on picking a favorite--each has an aspect that is appealing. Wonderful cabs and wraps!

I'm looking very closely at how you did the bail on the first one, crazy! I love it!! Those all look flawless again, and since I saw you cab your first stone in person, I'm amazed at what you're doing in the short time you've been cabbing. Very beautiful work  |

Randy, the bail has 3 little clear beads in it. Yeah, I've improved a little since my first few. I'm keeping those first cabs to look at later. I keep wanting to recut the tiger eye that I did at your house, but I won't. |

I thought they were little pearl beads in that first bail. Beautifully done and sets of the stone really well! Another great set by Tela! Love it!!!

Thanks Daniel, that would be cool. The only ones I have seen don't look like mine. It was sold by someone who didn't know what it was and was from an old collection.
Cathy, I wish those beads photographed better, they should be swarovski, but I'm not 100% sure. They are like 2mm. In person, you can see they add a real nice touch.
