I think the hardenst part for me in the beginning was bails...you can use a small dowel to help form your bails shape. Keep the wires together with tape till you are finished and then take a hard thin item (knife) and seperate the wires. For wraps such as this one, I will make the bail first and then play to my hearts content with the remaining wires. Wire is soooo fun!  |

Great job!! Is it hard because you make it seem nice and easy. But it isn't.

That is beautiful, you did a gret job on it. If the stone is beautiful without tumbling or grinding, sometimes it is better to wrap it as is.

Don't worry, the back will come with time. It looks much better with three bail wires.

Everything comes in time, your right. I did get a couple of great compliments on it and it also inspired a dear friend of mine to try her hand at wire wrapping a pretty Pietersite stone. Practise practise. Does anyone mind offering the link to where they get their wire from again? Thank you! T.
