Let's get started!
We first receive a rough piece of Wild Horse rock. Most of our slabs come from Arizona or Nevada. Close to the original location of where this stone was founded.
We then make the design we want using template's, like the one shown in the video, or just free-handing the shape. We then start cutting the bigger stone into a smaller piece to make it easier to work with.

At this point, we start to trim and smooth out the stone. Making it the exact shape and smoothness we want for our cabochon.

From here we then make our bezel cup for our newly cut stone and move onto some silver work! We decide the item and design we want to make and the soldering begins. For this bracelet, we lay the silver out flat and soldered the design we wanted. We then bend the cuff and solder the bezel cup to the area we want.
We then buff, mount, polish and clean our piece. Now it is ready for you!
