I see all kinds of posts where you start with slabs/cabs. Does anyone actually make any jewelry with tumbled stones? I see all kinds of wire wrapped cabs. I see all kinds of bezel set cabs. I'm guessing that's because tumbled stones are a bit more unpredictable? Just curious if someone could point me in a good general direction. Thanks in advance!

Lots of people wrap tumbles. There are many examples in the wirewrapping section, though, admittedly, it will take some scrolling to find. Some people also glue on bails.

Here's a video you might want to watch.
You can slice your rough down to a manageable size, shape it, shine it and glue a bail on it.

Thank you for the suggestions and links. I was browsing thru the wire wrapping section and then realized I could search "tumble" and found a bunch of ideas.
