That deserves many Wows! Is the edge piece one or three pieces of silver?
Love the minimalist design. Really shows off the cab.

I like the stone.
And you totally nailed the design! Absolutely stunning piece.
Not to hijack your thread, but how thick is a "typical" cab?
Just out of curiosity...

Nice job of leaving the stone to see.

I'm not really sure, but not as thick as the ones I just did. Plus, if it's a high dome they will be thick, of course. These had thick, irregular girdles. |

On this one, the design was kinda dictated by the tip. The tip got real thin and pointy and I was afraid it would break, so I used prongs down there and reinforced the tip.

Nice job on a wonky cab! I hope you charged her enough for the amount of wire and the extra time that one had to take you. 
It looks great!

Oh yeah. I ain't working for free.  She already paid and it's boxed to go out in the morning. So glad she is happy with them. I sent her a quick sketch for her approval and they ended up being pretty damn close. She asked for some curls on the opal. |

Great job again Tela! The amount of silver alone would make these custom jobs expensive. You did a good job of camouflaging the irregular girdle.

I like all three of them, looks like so much more work than just silver smithing. You never cease to amaze.
