A friend of mine picked this quartz up recently, and asked if I would wrap it for her. I asked what she wanted for a wrap, and she said something simple. I figured I could pull that off, so I agreed. It was a bit of a challenge because it's double domed, and the girdle isn't real straight on one side. Although I maybe should have made the bail larger so it's more proportioned with the size of the stone, I think it turned out ok so I'll deliver it tomorrow.  Please let me know what you think - honest critiques are welcome. Thanks for looking, Nate |

That doesn't look like a really good cab you had to work with, but you did a good job wrapping it. I agree with you about the bail needs to be a bit larger.

Nice job, Nate ... pretty eye-catching. I see what you mean by the slightly-off side but it still looks good.

It is a nice wrap. Glad she was happy with it. I do agree with you and Amy, the bail could have been a bit bigger but that's not a big deal.

Thanks Diane. We work together, and she had it on today. I honestly forgot the bail was too small. The stone attracts so much attention that you don;t even look at the bail. It worked out inthe end.
