Some Recent Purchase - Stones & Cabs

Hmmm...I have been spending on some cabs and stones recently. Here are pictures of them....aren't they yummy especially the rubies? The smaller rubies belong to my aunt-in law. She would like it to be wire wrap into bracelet and maybe a ring. This will be another challenge for me :) Love the moonstones as well. Look at the iridescent. Would be lovely for a ring.

Rubies Moonstones Teardrop Rutilated Quartz

Teardrop Black Onyx Misc Stones including fluorite, jasper, tiger eyes, rutilated quartz and turquoise.

Few Items Completed Today

Sharing with you several pieces I managed to complete today - Woven Black Onyx Ring, Pearl Bracelet and Herringbone Weaved Bracelet and Earrings set.

Netted Bezels, Wire Wrap Bracelet, etc.

Finally I got to make a netted bezel cab based on Delia Stone's tutorial. I have tried it before but it was not very successful. No picture was taken for this failed project. This time around it worked. I use 27ga stainless steel wire for the net. This cab is part of a bracelet with Goldstones. See more pix below. Other wire wrapped components of the bracelet (top pix) and the finished bracelet (bottom pix) on William's wrist.
