Really neat Raquel. I really like the 1st one best. The wire flows with the lines of that spectacular agate! Very neat! Steve

Nice wraps! I really like the way you curved the wire following the pattern in the rock on the first one!

Thanks for all the nice comments. There's no secret to it, just use pliers and fingers to bend the silver... Raquel

Looks like you put some heat to the silver. Looks like it doesn't seem to damage the stone or do you kind of melt the wire before you wrap the stone? Tami

Tami, I do solder the wires, and all the heat is used before the stone is added.

That seems to be a higher level, you melted somehow that silver. Beautiful work, you framed excellent the pattern of the rock in the first pic.
