Thanks!
this one was hard on my fingers as its made from 18g HH sterling, any less would not stand up to the wear and tear that my hubby has given this one.

Thank you!
I keep worring about the intarsia stones cracking apart, but so far so good
It was a tricky job to get perfectly flat sides when I was making them

 Very nice work. I have been thinking about making one. That is a beautiful design. I like the mix of turned (filigree) wire and straight. I also like the addition of the intarsia work on the sides. Did you create the pattern yourself? From looking at your other pieces I assume you have been wire wrapping awhile. Ed

Nice piece. That sleeping beauty is sure a beauty. Looks like you put a lot of work into that one, hope hubby appreciates that.
