I recently posted a new tutorial Mens Cab Ring. It has since been pulled from publication on all my sites. It was reported to me, that someone I have respected for a long time felt my design looked to close to theirs. While the text and images and construction is my own, in deference to this person I have removed the tutorial from sale. I felt I developed improved techniques for constructing a ring of this type. The text that I wrote and the pictures I took reflected these improvements in techniques.
While I realize this is a disappointment to some of you, I felt this was the correct thing to do. I may apply these same improved techniques to another project, and will certainly let everyone know when that happens. I appreciate your inquiries, and support.

This has to be one of the most satisfying projects I've done. - Perri's Celtic Braid Pendant Tutorial - I really could kick myself for not trying it sooner!!
The stone in the pendant is a 20mm by 15mm faceted Alexandrite, and not the stone I had started with. I started with a standard cab, but when I was forming the braid to the stone, I realized there was a wonky section in my braid, and it wouldn't play nice. After cutting out the bad section, the remainder fit this stone perfectly. I tried something different for the bail - Perri's Mobius Strip Earrings weave - the jury is still out on whether I like it or not. :)) I like the weave, I'm just not sure whether its fighting with the rest of the pendant.
There are a few boo boos here and there, so I can't sell it - oooohhh weeellll, guess I just have to keep it for myself. :)) Alexandrite is my favorite faceted stone, but a real pain to photograph with the color changes.
I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out - Thank you Miss Perri - I couldn't have done it without you!!!

These pendants were made from Corra's wonderful Rosabella Pendant Tutorial. They were so much fun to do, and quite addicting. I coiled the wire first - 30g Fine Silver over a 26g core -
and added had-set 4mm and 5mm faceted Alexandrite in the centers.
Alexandrite is my favorite faceted stone, 
though it is a real pain to photograph with the color changes.
Many many thanks for sharing your wonderful designs Corra!!
