If I had it to do again I would adjust the spacing of the bottom two prongs to match the top two that come out of the bail - but I still like it a lot as is. The mix of gold-filled square wire with silver wrapping looks really good in person. and again, the beautiful stone is the star of the show :-)  |

Yes, very nice indeed! Can I ask what wire gauge you are using?

Hi Rich thanks. The main wrap is done in 21 gauge square gold-filled. The binding on the back (not shown) is 22 gauge half-round sterling, and the bail binding is 21 gauge round sterling.
I didn’t show the back because I’ve shown the back of similars a couple of times – if anyone has a desire to see it feel free to ask away and I’ll take a photo of it.

That is a beautiful cab. I think you spaced the prongs just right.
