After doing the weave on the moonstone, I decided to do a netting on a large labradorite. They both had the thick rounded girdle. I am now wearing my brace because I destroyed my hand.  I should have known better. This wrap was designed and popularized by Eni Oken. It's really great for just about any stone. My netting isn't the greatest. If I had used 28 instead of 26g it would look better, I think.    Thanks for looking... again. I seem to be on a roll.  |

That's an interesting "wrap". Light and airy. I love the bail & the stone is beautiful.

I've tried that before but was not really happy with the result. I do love your bail, though. 28ga probably would have nested it better but 28 seems to break more often when used like that. Good work!

Good work! I'm not real thrilled with the look. Sometimes it's just the right application for a thick stone, though. |
