Nice job!! Do you twist your own wire? That first stone is beautiful.

Yeah, that second piece does it for me too. The setting complements the beauty of the stone perfectly. You're an artist Rocky46s!

Hi Steve, the second stone is Georgia Queen picture Jasper. Cher, I did twist my own wire, I use a battery powered screwdriver (not the drill type, one that turns real slow has the shape of a screwdriver) and I brought a chuck at harbor freight $2 to $4 depending on sell. The chuck fits in Screwdriver. I lock the end of the wire into the chuck and hold the other end with pliers. Turn on the screwdriver until I get the twist I want. It can be done by hand, not as easy! Thanks everyone for looking, I thought the artistic juices went crazy on the first one, but I let it flow...
