This is the first time I've wrapped a Garnet. I always thought of them as tiny little un-wrappable things but when a customer asked for a custom piece with Garnet I started looking around, apparently, if you pay a pretty penny you can get large garnets that are awfully nice This one is about 19mmx12mm I bought another garnet that I hope to wrap as soon as it gets here as well. What do you think of this one? Garnet wrapped in round Gold Filled wire. This is the second garnet I wrapped and said I'd post. It's much more pink than the other, very, very pretty Thanks for looking Krista

You did a great job on that. It looks like that garnet is just sitting in there to make your wrap look even better.

Oh yes, round wire Roger I use round quite often, it's a little more temper-mental than square, but can be really pretty too Krista

Beautiful pendant! Great photo too. A couple years ago I made a garnet cab out of a beautiful, almost perfectly shaped almandine garnet. I would grind out one inclusion only to find another one under it. I finally had to stop while I still had some garnet left. You got yourself a dandy with this one - I assume it's an almandine.

Thanks guys, It seems to be a pretty popular piece, so I bought and wrapped another garnet, I just haven't gotten pictures yet, I'll post them when I get them. Krista

I think I like the new one even more. I love the shape and the stone is gorgeous as is the wrap.
