Here are 3 I wrapped this week. Any ID on this first one? It is from a tiny slab I bought at the rock show. Only got one cab from it. wrapped in Argentium silver.  A candystripe onxy from the rock show also. a bigger slab. I got about 8 cabs from a slab that cost $10.00. not bad, huh? I love this stuff. Also wrapped in argentium.  A sodalite cab wrapped in argentium silver.  Thanks for lookin. Amy |

Very nice!!! Love the 3rd one best. I had ordered half hard 20ga argentium and I wish someone had told me, like Rio Grande , that it was about as stiff as full hard sterling. Not sure that I like it as well as sterling but I got 200 feet so I should know by then.

The first one looks like some type of tube agate but hard to tell, it's beautiful whatever it is.
Nice work Amy and good buys at the show.

That's too bad, dbreality rocks. I only use dead soft. and it seems to be a tiny bit softer than sterling. But then again I am also using 22G.

Those wraps are beautiful, and I really love the cab in the first pic!!  I use 22g dead soft as well, and it is in fact really soft but I like it. |

I like them all!
I have been using dead soft now for a while and went back to half hard to use up what is on hand. I'm spoiled by the dead soft and the ability to manipulate the wire better. It was a shocker to wrap with that h h wire

I like all 3 also. The blue one does stand out a little more to me though. Wonderful job on the wraps. I need to get more wire. Right now, all I have is HH and I got spoiled on DS too. I did a wrap yesterday using the HH and boy, did I struggle!! LOL
