I think I managed to do a bit better on this one than I did on last night's wrap - not very frilly, shows off the stone much better. I think the stone is "porcelainite", or "porcelain jasper", and the wrapping is 21ga. copper. Front Back Thanks for looking, and for your comments. Tom

Very pretty, the copper was excellent choice for the colors in the stone. Very nice:)

(Note to Jo - Naturenut) I twisted all 3 of the square wires in this one using my favorite method - one end in the little table-clampon vise and the other end in my pin vise, then just twirl the pin vise in my fingers while pulling. Managed to get all 3 wires twisted just about equal, and the secondary benefit I found was that the 3 wires came out straight as an arrow after twisting. I keep learning - who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks? This old dog still has a few tricks left in him! ;D

That came out great. Nice tight bindings and the twisted wires are super. The copper goes with the stone great, also. Ken

Tom: You are wrapping like pro now! Great choice to use cooper to bring out the stone's color!
