I would love to be keeping with the holiday...however they aren't.

I made these pendants yesterday and today..just came in from my studio through windy- sleet- hail and SNOW! its godawful out there.....

this first pendant is the one I posted about yesterday -- the one I wrecked the paua shell. I removed the bezel and shell and was just about to solder a claw setting to add a lab grown sapphire- when I took a better look and decided to leave well enough alone. You can't see the bezel very well against the dark lampwork glass- but it isn't perfect.-- The 2nd one is a pink lampwork cab and a rose quartz. You can see the bezels better on those. I would like to improve on them. I still struggle to get a really smooth edge- I wonder if anyone has suggestions? (I use a bezel rocker and then some setting tools I made....still problems)

Thanks for any help offered!
