I got a custom order for wrapping with some raw crystals, something I haven't done before! However, now I think I'm hooked, and can't wait to try more. This is an amethyst cluster, with Topaz in Sterling.

You made it look easy. I wrapped a big ol hunk of amethyst crystals once. Way too big for me, but it fetched a nice price. This one looks much better.

One thing I'm learning about myself, unless there's a bit of challenge, I lose interest! Have 1/2 crystal clusters I want to play with now.

You must have big programmable machines doing it. wow

I just don't know how you can make the wire behave for you like you do! I did a simple wrap yesterday and it almost killed me! Still have to redo the back. Love the natural crystal look to it! Fran

I have a bunch of raw crystals like that and really have a lot of trouble figuring out a way to make them into pendants. Your way looks awesome but looking at it what I see is me still having a lot of trouble figuring out a way to make them into pendants. Superb workmanship. Or should I say superb workwomanship.
