Roy sent me some amy sage cabs to wrap for him. If anyone is interested he had a couple of boxes of the same amethyst sage these cabs came from for sale. Gorgeous stuff!!!!! So here ya go Roy.... I used brass wire for this one. Was going to use silver but realized after I cut the wire & made the bundle that it was going to be too shiny for the cab so I switched to brass which can either stay shiny or patina giving the wrap a nice antique look.   This one I used Parawire's platinum color. Again, I didn't want to go too shiny & this gave me the way to use silver without the shininess of the silver.   |

Nice stones and perfect wraps for them. The brass is *very* nice--I've tried to work with it and you did a superb job!

The stone goes absolutely perfectly with the colour the wire is in the last photo which looks coppery allthough it is still the platinum; did you heat it or something? That one is my fav. and I must say that that size of stone and shape is where the wrap I showed really would shine, especially the first one
