latest set wrapped in GF  I will be adding three more sets as I get the earrings for them done. The above pendant is in 22 gage and the earrings are in 26 gage. With the 26 gage I feel like I need to do all the work with tweezers and for sure cannot wrap with just my granny glasses but need to use the magnifier also!  Alaska jade  blue lace agate  pink opal |

Thanks!  the tiny wire takes so much more time to do than the 22 gage, one too hard a squeeze with the tools and you cut the wire like you used a cutter on it its very fiddlyto work with but I think for the tiny stones it gives the best look |

The ones that you added are beautiful! I don't know which I like best, the opal I think but the blue lace is a close second.

I've never tried wrapping with 26 ga. 24 ga is hard enough, can't even imagine 26. Fantastic job on all.
