Hey All, So I haven't been doing much wrapping, but this year I made a purchase that was kind of a mistake and wound up with 15 tiny rainbow moonstone cabochons, they're only 12mm x 8mm which is really, really small. I finally got the courage up to wrap one tonight and I think it turned out alright  I've got another 14 of these little stones, didn't take much wire, going to try and sell a bunch at art fairs What do you guys think? The whole pendant is only 20mm x 10mm Rainbow Moonstone in square, Argentium Sterling Silver.  Matching Earrings  Matching Bracelet  Krista |

Pretty. They use so little wire that when you get to the top, you don't quite know what to do with all the wires.

Very elegant! I think you'll probably do very well with them as it's very like a single pearl setting.... only prettier than most I've seen! Let us know how you do with it!

Very nice tight work! i have done a few tiny ones as well... killer on the fingers and eyes lol. You should do very well as they are very delicate and would appeal to a wide market . |

Gorgeous set. It looks like you must have your arthritis under control because a year ago you only wanted large cabs because it was difficult to wrap the small ones. Great to see you are getting better.

Thanks guys Mario, I've been looking around, I have no idea how to wire wrap clip on earrings, but I could always purchase the clips and attach the wire wraps I looked around and found a couple sterling silver clips, but sadly no Argentium Sterling Silver, which is what I use to wrap. If that would be suitable I won't charge anymore than for the pierced earrings. They're for sale here: www.zorias.com/#!store/vstc3=christmas-sale! Jim, my arthritis is still pretty bad, but I just couldn't stand to let these little beauties sit and waste away. It also takes a lot less time to wrap these than larger stones, so it's not so bad. And painkillers are nice too. I don't think I'll wrap more than one of these in a day from now on, but they are really cute Krista |

Very cute and you did such a great job on them, too. Very clean and neat. I remember once, I got a parcel of these little moonstones (ovals) from a seller who threw them into a sale of garnets. After about 10 wraps, I banished them to a box- they are still kicking around here somewhere. I just couldn't do anymore. |
