I really like this one. Great stone and nice work on the wrap.
Might be an optical illusion but it don't look like much holding the stone in on the front side at the top?
I always worry about that part especially when selling.

Yes Chuck I hear you on that one and I considered that while I was wrapping it... the back actually is holding the stone in quite tightly and the wrap on the bottom front of the piece is more substantial than this photo shows. So it's in there quite snug and takes quite a firm push to pop it out. Good observation.

I have been trying to figure out how to wrap like that for a while. Very nice!!

That's a beautiful piece. I'm with the others about stones falling out. I have never been able to wrap with such an open top because I'm paranoid the stone will fall out. I do a "wiggle test" on all my wraps to make sure the stone isn't going anywhere. That said, I think your style is great.
