All are beautiful, Tela, but I've got to say that my favorite is that chariot... although that wrap on the OJ is sweet too!!!!

the bail on the first one... Is that what is referred to as a weave?, the way the wire is wrapped around over and under?
Do you know if there are any tutorials that show how that is done?? I am curious to try it.

Thanks Cathy  Yes, it is a weave. Many people have done tutes for something like it. You might want to start with Eni Oken and try jewelrylessons.com |

Wow Tela,Very creative! Love the airy bail on the first, just plain love the 2nd, and 4th, but I think you nailed that 3rd stone with that wrap and patina on the silver. Perfect!!!!!......................Hub

I love the wraps are very modern, cool, bright and over powering but don't over power the cab.

I like the OJ best but all of them are great. I'm not sure I would have wrapped bumble bee in copper but it somehow works for you.

Like them all as usual, and the last one with the one small curly imitating the orbs on the stone is an especially nice touch.

I worked on a few wonky shaped cabs, both were bought. I like wonky, they challenge me. The gaspeite and bumblee bee had strange freeforms. The other two are a little more conventional-- the tiny OJ and charoite. The charoite began life with a different bail. I didn't like it, so I cut the wires and did this instead. It is blackened polished silver.
