Pirate's Treasure?

This is an attempt to follow Peri's Cretan Braid Bezel tutorial.  I didn't do the math (hanging head in shame).  This stone was really too deep for the braid that I made.  I had to fudge by putting in a round of pearls and then a round of Swars to cinch it in enough to hold the stone.  Making the braid was easy.  Closing it around the stone was not.  I ended up with a mess that I tried to hide under the pearls and swars.Dscn22931
