I promised some folks that I would post photos when I finished my sister's wedding set. I actually finished in May, but I've been quite busy since then with the kids out of school and going to visit my sister to deliver the jewelry (and the other non-rock related things I made for the wedding as well). It wouldn't have been fair to show you all before she got to see them so here they are. This is actually my second project. I made a simple pendant first, just to get the idea of the process. Then I dove right in. The cufflinks came out a bit off. I cut all of the dyed agates with my dremel, which I do not recommend if you wait pairs... I try not to brag as a general rule, but I'm pretty darn tickled at how these came out. Also, playing with fire is REALLY fun. Let me know if the pics don't show up. I have them in Google, so I might have to change the settings...

Thank you! It was a journey for sure. All those tiny garnets and citrine were a bit of a nightmare at first. It took 6 hrs to get the first three set, then it got easier. I have gotten the feeling back in my left pointer finger, so that's good.
