I wrapped this in 21g. hh 14kt. GF with 18g. hh 1/2 round wrap wire. 2 pictures of same wrap. Still think my hand as background works best. Ken

That is drop dead gorgeous. Outstanding job. Just fancy enough to be elegant & understated enough to be classy. JoAnne

WOW, Ken, this is fantastic! the pattern in the quartz looks like the wires had been split and they entered somehow into the stone. Great!

Ken that wrap is amazing and I'm glad you showed it in your hand as it really shows the beautiful effect between the gold wire and the rutile.

Oh, oh, OH!
Where do you find this stuff, the only stuff I've seen is already shaped & polished - no one has the rough slabs
I think that one deserves an "O"!

This was a thick nodule and I split it and got 2 out of it. Donna bought it at the Columbia, Mo show for $5.

Really nice wrap Ken. I haven't tried wrapping something as clear as this, you need to put a lot more thought into the back.
