In between working on that lapis, i finished a few pieces of jewelry, a pair of labradorite earrings (cabs are 14mm 10mm)  and a Marra Mamba ( aka Tiger Iron) necklace with Tiger Eye beads. Cab is 18mm x 25mm).  Thanks for looking! KD |

I like those earrings. 10x14 is small and difficult for me. Are those stock settings or do you make them? Great necklace too.

Mainly from Fire Mountain Gems, but Rio Gande has a nice selection as well, but a bit pricey. I took a metal smithing class, then found out hubby was afraid that i'd burn the house down.......so. Besides, i prefer to work the stone more anyway. and yeh, 10mm x 14mm is about as small as i can do, too. Thanks, KD |

I bet those tiny lab cabs cut in no time. I've yet to cut either lab or tiger eye on my new cabber, time to make a list.
Nice work!
