Very nice. Did you cut the stone? It is hard to find laker slices that size with no fractures.

No, it was in the traveling rock box last year, I think when I posted the cab Ali said she was the one who put it in. It is a fairly large cab, almost an inch and a half both horizontally and vertically at the widest points I'm guessing. |

Don’t take me wrong Mike, I really like the wrap, a lot.
But putting that sweet stone in craft wire is akin to... hmm
😈
eating a juicy NY strip steak on a hotdog bun... 😅
But my sanity is questionable so don’t mind me lol

Awesome job dude, and you have the skills to move up to Sterling or Argentium IMO. Does that dead soft craft wire wear good in the long term? |

Oh, I got what you meant sir- it just took me a second.  You do have a big heart...maybe turn the bigger ones into keychains? My daughter loved hers- until it somehow fell off of her keychain and got lost. She was pretty sad about it, I'll probably make her a replacement... |

wow sorry to here about a bale fail on key chain
that why kind shied away from that idea
the morn big grind heart
I'm concerned I didn't apply enough super glue
to the bale
I started super gluing the bails
poxying is much bettah
damn difficult for some reason
toughest button stuff
super glue is fast
and hopefully secure for 100 years
anyway I'm wearing it
so that ought to be a good stress test
I'm afraid to take the pliers to it
and yank on it
not sure why ?
I need to do that
stress testing is good
great pendant
keep on !

I'm planning on doing just that if I ever get stimulated.  As far as longevity, I don't really know. I'll have to ask the hundreds couple of people that have my wraps... |
