Made these over past year

I started as a lapidary and a collector
before I knew it I had all these cabs and mineral specimans
as wella s faceted gems
So just seemed natural the next step was to put them n metal

Did you mean to post pictures? If so, please do so, as they did not come through…

Thanks Seth
These are some from about a year ago

But thank you for your help

The stone in stone inlay (or whatever it’s called) is really nice. I also like how the prongs on the bumblebee jasper piece echo the stone markings. Nice.

I like what you’re doing. Do you drill and cut the stones? I like the
creative gem holding techniques with the little claws holding the stone.
Ive done similar things to suspend gems like that. Good job SD
