Enlarge photo 29 Netted Bezel on Dichroic Cabochon view 1
Using the netted bezel technique that I purchased over at Eni Oken's site Jewelrylessons.com, I was able to create a lovely lacy bezel that holds my dichroic cabochon securely with a bezel that doesn't hide the glorious colors of the dichoric glass! I love this technique. This is only my second attempt with this technique, but it's much cleaner and more uniform than my first try. I worked this net with 30 gauge wire.

Using Eni Oken's Net Bezel tutorial, I just finished my first net bezeled cabochon! There are three pictures here...front, side and back views of this technique!
I highly recommend the tutorial. It was only seven dollars and was one of the finest tutorials I have ever seen, regarding instructional content, pictures, and quality of communciation.

Enlarge photo 36 Brass Cross Pendant with Crystals
Fine Brass Wire was used here to create a large cross pendant -top to bottom measures 2 1/2 inches. Crystals are hand wired to the center as embellishment and the top of the cross simply slides onto a necklace! My first one of this type. Created it on the fly as a Christmas gift for someone special!
