It has been a while since I did any smithing so yesterday I was on the bench melting some more silver.

It went quite well with no meltdowns or major issues.

I purchased 2 lbs of Amazonite from Brazil for $10, slabbed it up this week, cabbed and mounted them yesterday.

Nice work Don.

I admire your patience.

These days it's either groove wire wrap, drill and pinch bail or rounded edge and rolled over fine silver bezel for me.

Fantastic set. Love the subtle color. While it finds its elegant charm in simplicity, I dont think it was simple at all to construct it.

Really pretty set, Don! The mint green color looks so pretty with the silver.

I like the upside-down teardrop form and the color is pleasing.  The color and pieces gives me a refreshing, peaceful feeling.
