This piece took forever too do. I did it in 20g, decided it wasn't enough silver, so I did it in 18g, did the weave and decided it was too ugly, took it apart and redid that too. It's very nice Carico Lake turquoise, so I wanted a nice wrap. It has a patina, but I polished it off the bottom. Sorry for the quickie picture. I'm feeling lazy. ![]()  |

Maybe it took forever to do, but it's worth forever to admire! Your perfectionism payed off.

Tenacity payed off on that one. The bail weave is nice but that braid at the bottom is my favorite part and sure has me scratching my head in thought.

whoa!
that classic all away around
that stone just glows in the wrap
and the bail and bottom weave
especially that bail
reminds me of

Lots of mysteries on that one. A true puzzle how you can wrap and twist with such precision. Must be thinking 5 steps ahead.

Beautiful wrap Tela. The bail is amazing, but the bottom detail steals the show for me. I have tried to do something similar and have never even been close lol My ball of wire fails grows weekly |
