AMBER – A Favorite Gemstone

It’s time to update my progress with the colorful and eye-catching Amber cabs I got from Mexico. Here is the lot of cabs I started with

Here’s a close up of the one cab that’s missing from this picture

Here’s what I’ve done so far

I’m making progress. I still have about 6 or 7 to go. Some of these are really small – about 1″ in length including the bail. The longest one (the bottom on the left) is 2 1/4″ in length and about 3/4″ wide. Most of them are about 1-1/2″. They are all very lightweight and as you can see pretty transparent.

As you can see from the top right and left, I’ve branched (pun intended) out into making fancier pendants and using additional beads with the Amber cabs. This is a challenging exercise as I don’t want all of them to be the same. I hope you enjoy looking at my cabs. Please share any thoughts, questions or comments.
