A bunch of Stones

I used to blog as mettledesignstudio.blogspot.com but have been unable to access it. So now I have moved over here.

So, as these are my first musings, I wanted to show you the stones that I intend on making pieces with. Most likely they will all be rings.

So below are the cabochons:

 

Next are the large faceted stones which are my favourites. 

Then the smaller faceted stones:

Then there are the flat backs, most are rose cuts. 

All of these will end up in rings. 

I am going to carve a wax, since I haven't done one in ages. I will post images here also. I hope you will enjoy that.
