I love this wrap, I wanted to keep it. Wrapped in gold filled wire. The fossil was from the customer, I have some of these but not as pretty as this one.  The photo does not show the true color. The stone is way more yellow/orange. Amy |

This photo shows the color better but is kinda blurry.  |

Well done! I like the wrap mimicking the lines of the shell.

I love how you wrapped that difficult shape. It did not look forced.

Ammonites are a wonderful fossil and you did it justice with a great wrap

Beautiful job on a tough one to wrap. You did really well. The wire complements the stone without competing with it.  |

That does look nice and tight. Might have to try to wrap one myself I picked up about 50 of them.

Thanks everyone. riverrock, it was actually quite easy to wrap. once I got that bottom corner right, it is just basically an upside down cab.
The back is domed instead of the front. I did the back the same as the front. Have fun.
