Looks like nobody picked #4. That would be my choice and might be more about knowing your wraps then is about the stone. I feel like you would do something pretty cool with that shape. The cab is nice too though. Purple/lavender not real common in stones. Chuck Do you mean 3- the luna agate? I love that shape!  |

I want to agree a bit with what Drummond Island Rocks said. I picked #2 based on how gorgeous it was. #3 was my second choice - which I chose thinking of your wraps. Not that you asked me, but I had to agree it's got you written all over it. |

It's hard not to just pick the cab that jumps out as outstanding to me, BUT Chuck was right, it's picking to wrap.
#5 would be a challenge, that I'd love to see you deal with.
How the heck can you wrap something that narrow, and not let the wrap seem overwhelming?

Wow, they're all great looking pieces!
I don't next to nothing about wrapping and very little about jewelry making, so I voted based off of my favorite looking pieces.
#2 - It's just a gorgeous piece and my favorite of the bunch.
#4 - I love the eye pattern in this one.
#7 - I also really like ruby in fuchsite and zoisite.
But whatever you choose, I'm sure it will look amazing! 👍

My rock club had a wrapping workshop. Instructor had a cigar box full of small stones with holes in them. We all did the same design. Very nicely thought out. I did a ring with some help and even though it was funky I was very pleased for a first wrap. Having holes in the stone make all the difference for a beginner.

Post pictures in the wire wrap section. We'd love to see them. |

I just saw the questioning about maybe me cabbing #4! LOL
I was going to say I want to see that one cabbed as I've been doing a crap-ton of cabs with that shape...and have NO clue how I'm going to wrap them (eventually! LOL)!

Well, hot damn! There is obviously a clear choice being made. The shape is uninspiring, but I have a few ideas.
I'll let this run for grins and giggles, but I'm already thinking of wrapping the doublet.

I went ahead and locked the poll... because I FINISHED THE CAB ALREADY!!!!
You guys were a lot of help! THANK YOU! This was just what I needed to get me going. 
Even though this was my least favorite cab... kinda boring... I still managed. I made it much more difficult than it needed to be, but it needed spicing up. LOL!
I'll post pics tomorrow. No light now.
Again, I really thank you for helping me out.
