Stephen's Choice - Shaktipaj
I REALLY like this one! I haven't been this excited over a design in a while. First, the cab is phenomenal - most labradorite is only fiery from one or two perspectives- this one is drab from only one or two! Second, this wrap has been floating in my head for a while, I was looking for a design that could go masculine and finally executed one to my satisfaction!. The proof is in the pudding, as they say, because after one look, my Beloved Stephen declared that this was his. He just doesn't do that, so I'm very happy!.
This is effectively double -sided, as the back of the stone is very beautiful, and I only added Hill Tribe beads to the front, so the back has a somewhat different look. Took pics before and after LOS, as well as from many different angles. 22, 26, & 30
g sterling, the pendant is just over an inch and a half. Comments are most welcome! Perri
Come see the other pics and a link to the source of this cab in my Blog!
I'm speechless about this one. It's just perfect and sooooo beautiful! What a genius way to wrap a cab. Tell Stephen I think he has excellent taste.

I love, love, love the way you have wrapped this! It's simply fantastic. I don't usually go for wrapped cabs but you have combined the elements so well and come up with a really unique look. Just amazing!
