Okay folks, I finally got the earrings done and I re-did the necklace a little bit. The earrings are from the same rock, just a little further in than I expected. Thats what happens when you get too aggresive with the grinder while shaping-crack-oh well, cut another slab!

Thanks for looking, Ed

Very nice job Ed!
I'd be proud to have a set like that! (_{Over reactive feminine side}).
But a macho guy like me must just adore them from afar.
You matched them up real well and the additional beads make a nice modification.
You keep that up and you'll be hawking those things at 'Park n Swap' in no time.

Hey all. Thanks for the feedback. The beads were my wife's idea. She has always been my consultant on all my hobbies.
I picked up an assortment of jewelery findings at Micheal's the other day and I've been cutting alot of rock, so I'll be busy for a while. The next ones will be Brazilan Agate.

Thanks again, Ed
