First Items Sent for Hallmarking!

[Ominicci]

Some of these were made ages ago but have sent them with new stuff too. (Quick pics to remind me what I sent so not good quality!)








Stone cabs for rings, clockwise from top;
Malachite - bought at IJL and as it is so soft I could sand the edges to fit better in the bezel - which was useful as I made the bezel to take into account George's comment about making sure the edges match neatly!
Blue Tiger's eye (although it has a golden patch in it too). Cut and polished by me 20 years ago! And the ring bezel for that matches neatly too otherwise it would have been a plain bezel. But I think the crown effect will suit it better as it is a very high cab and it will look almost medieval (sp?). Will probably oxidise it too.
Agate (dyed probably) bought at a Gem n Bead fair from the 5 for a £1 box
Labradorite cab - gorgeous milky green flash £6 at IJL
Agate or Obsidian - black circular conical (!) cab - from the 5 for a £1 box. Thought it would be a fun shape for a ring. There was only one in the box otherwise I would have bought more.
Labradorite cab - fantastic deep blue flash (may have to keep this one after I see it set )
