I see what is happening,I think. It looks like your wires are shifting when you turn them, you have to make sure that they all stay together. The distance from the binding wires to the bottom of you cabochon is where, I think, the problem lies. If you can make that part tighter, you will have better results.

I hope that I have not discouraged you because it does seem to turn out ok and you do good work. I know that there are times that I just have to put it down for awhile, then I can look at it and say hello, why didn't I see that earlier.

Good luck,
Tammy

looks like your using round wire for the ring shank and that is where you will get the shifting issue.
Try using square wire for the ring shank and binding it with the same gauge square wire instead of half round at the two sides.

The ring looks good!

rocknrob: That had better be a good sandwich for that price, otherwise you're better off making one yourself. Nov 10, 2024 21:10:43 GMT -5

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
