That first wrap is insanely beautiful! The bead-work looks like it absolutely belongs...or deserves to be there!

That Kokoweef cab is incredible!!

Thanks, Jason! That kokoweef has one of those weird shapes. Where the beads are, it is slightly concave.

Nice ones !
I like the onyx on the right, with its tall bail, and the one-sided, extra border wraps.
How in the world did you get those wraps to be two-tone & match the stone so perfectly, is a mystery to me.

And the OJ is graceful, in it's understated simplicity.

Did I hear 2 more (popcorn)

Thanks for sharing,
Patty

Thank you, Patty! I love that kokoweef. It's a tough material to pull a decent size cab from. I used all copper. Maybe the light is playing tricks on you? The left side is 2mm beads.

I was drawing blanks on the OJ because it is so graphically pure as is. I love the lone orbs. A simple wrap suit it.

Thank you for telling me about the beads - from the front it was hard to see them.

They are a nice balancing accent.

That cut is slightly concave where the tiny beads fit. It's a weird cut and the first one I've wrapped.
