In this one, we take a pile of our smaller tumbled iris agate slabs and make silver settings for them by turning them into pendants! Due to the nature of iris agate, it does not lend itself well to jewelry; in order to capture the amazing rainbow that makes iris agate so special, light must be able to pass through the stone from the back meaning any ring or other closed setting will just kill your iris. With this method however, you can wear iris agates and show their full color off! These open backed settings are incredibly simple to make and can be used on a huge variety of stones, certainly not just iris agate. All you need is some silver bezel strip and some high gauge round silver wire and you are all set to get to started on these awesome settings that really allow the stone to shine! I hope this video is helpful, informative, or even just entertaining if you have no plans on making your own, and I will have another one out soon!


Want to try this for yourself but don't know where to get silver? I get all of my Silver from Rio Grande and absolutely cannot recommend them highly enough! Fantastic service, fast shipping, and a plethora to choose from! Below is a link to get you started!

These and many more will ALL be for sale at the Billings Gem and Mineral Show at the Billings Hotel and Convention Center August 3rd-6th so come on down if you would like to own one of these for yourself! Can't make it in person? No worries! Every one that I have left at the end of the show will be going onto my Etsy! Below is a link to the event page for my meet and greet on August 4th; even if you can't make it in person, going to the page and showing interest is a huge help for me that is immensely appreciated!
