Here is the coral pendant in progress. All of the stone setting components have been soldered in place. I have a silver bezel for the main cabochon and a 14 karat bezel for a fossil coral. There are two 14 karat prongs to hold another fossil coral. The excess silver around the pendant has since been cut and filed, and I just need to finish the bail before I can start setting the coral.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/bp3.blogger.com\/_2h_6OEZccWc\/SDI0-6rYqNI\/AAAAAAAAAGo\/gsFbXFT-I9Q\/s400\/jewelry+at+skeleton+stage+rings.JPG\" border=\"0\" \/>Above are some more of the pieces I had time to assemble. The first is a simple wire ring with two large prongs to hold a fossil embedded with quartz crystals. Mike and I found this fossil on our dig last week. The second ring is for a green ocean jasper. It has granules of silver soldered to one side of the bezel where the shank begins. The last ring will hold a bullet-shaped, fluorite tiffany opal. The bezel has a silver round wire lining and the shank is formed from square wire. Once the pieces are finished and the stones are set, more pictures will be posted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got to work in my studio all day this past Thursday and made some headway on a few pieces.
