Here's what I've been working on...bezels and charms. I'm now ready to set the oval moss-colored nephrite cabochon into a bezel that has a star cutout on the backside. I like the backside of jewelry to be as interesting as the front...it's a nice extra touch, I think! Measuring 55mm in length, the bezel on the left side of this photo is uneven in height as is the piece of petrified wood that will fit into it. I intend to secure the petrified wood in a bed of resin faux druzy. The contrast of shine and sparkle juxtaposing with the dullness of the brown bark will be interesting! Next to the cast silver twig charm is a resin faux beryl crystal that will fit into a hanging bezel and dangle as a charm on a necklace I've yet to design. The bezel pictured at upper left will hold a shallow 10mm paua shell cabochon and be added to another component as yet unplanned. Having lots of components on hand to use in future projects is a good thing! I hope to have several finished soon to show you in my next post. So...what projects are you working on?
