As much as I hate doing earrings, it seems like I really need to get in the habit of making pairs to go with pendants. It seems to be a reoccurring request with the pendants I do. But man, it takes as long to do one earring as it does a pendant, then you have to find matching stones, and wrap them in some sort of similar type wrap. Oh well, I had bet get used to it and quit whining. Here is some stuff I got done this week. And of course the earring set. Mothers day Pearl Agate (Of course it was late)-  Spiderweb Turquoise-   Antelope Jasper Set (the one I was just whining about)-    A fuzzy Antelope for a gal in Mass-  A teeny tiny opel (that is 24 guage wire)  Thanks for looking. -Banjo |

eye poppers, all of them, Banjo, but that last one really is spectacular! hint on earrings, take a medium sized polished stone, cut it in half on the trim saw, put both pieces back into prepolish, etc. you come our with a pretty nice book matched pair for drilling/wrapping. i am working on a tiger eye set, will post in a week or so,

Ahhhhh...I'm drooling. Wish you'd show the back and the front...I never can tell exactly what you do with those top wires. (I don't mean to copy your style...but am curious about various techniques..so far (on my 4 or 5 wraps), I've had no idea what I was going to do til I did it anyway.) Nugget

OMG  Banjo those are stunning, all of them. I love your sets, that color is beautiful. That turquoise is just awesome but that opal just tops the cake ... unbelievably gorgeous. Cher |

That Opel is indeed very nice, but that was a stone wrapped by request from a friend. The stone is there's. I did find out that I may be able to get some of those come the rock show in Quartzite Arizona, and lets see...that's only about 9 months away. Patience is a virtue  |

Very cool Mike. The stones almost look like they're in a setting, not just wrapped. Very impressive.
