Okay, I tried a few different things with this one. First, the bail isn't terminated...not really. The four wires you see on the back are the bail. Not sure how well this will hold up, but I have an eager volunteer test neck to try it out. Second, I had a little too much wire left over in the end, so I did multiple swirls from one wire. This little trick I'll definitely do again! Now if I can just get images that look great on both the wrap and the stone...  Front: 22G SS DS round  Back:  |

Looking good, did you do the cab yourself too? What kind of stone is it?

I can see you in the cab! - the wrap is very nice too - thanks for posting the back
What I've seen & tried for the bail wires is to wrap them then turn them up a bit over the wraps & cut them off short...

I can't take credit for the cab. This one was $1.50 at the rock show I went to this weekend, and the lady had no idea what it was either. I would love to know, though!
Tweety, I've done that on a couple as well. This one ended as a mistake, kinda. I had already wrapped the bail longer than I normally do and didn't want to rewrap over the existing wrap or add any more length to an already "large" pendant. So I figured I'd give this a try.
