And you continue to be a busy bee, and again with different stiles of wire-design.

Dave, yeah the lapis bead is really nice quality lapis, although the cut and polish on it is abysmal. I desperately wanted to re-work it, but I wasn't getting paid to do that so...oh well...The other two stones are interesting too, again not the greatest finish, but man, I never thought I'd wrap a 400ct ruby....that thing is huge. Client said she bought it in Africa.

Great looking pieces.
Ok this brings up a question I've had. I see ruby in zoezite & ruby in fushite. Are they the same thing just by different names?

Those are all beautiful.  I'm especially fond of that Ruby.  You did such a good job wrapping that and it shows off the stone really well.
