Week 28 - Golden Fantasy

Wow, now I recall from my participation on the Year of Jewelry - just how quickly these weks come up! So I am NOT on theme this week, I have been working on my first bezel set 'thing'. This is a seraphanite cab - of good size - and an odd shape. This is a work in progress, I did the bezel and it didn't fit the original stone, so I ended up splicing it open and resoldering it and fitting it to THIS piece of seraphinite (the other one was a larger diamond shape piece). Then I did the backplate and soldered the bezel on..then set the stone - but it was horribly off and was totally puckered - so I took stone out, sanded down the bezel - the other stone was appaently much higher - and resoldered it (as there were gaps in the first one) and then reset it.

Here it is now:
Front , side,and back (and the back MIGHT be considered 'fantasy'...?)
