Inner and outer wires were left square and the 4 wires between them alternately twisted.

YOur wrapping is good. It highlights the stone. I like that. I might have twisted the wires a little tighter. That is my preference, I like tight counted twists. I also go against each twist and match the turns.
Great stone, great wrap.
More, more, more.
