Thanks Beth- right now I'm liking the silver wire better than the copper wire, but you might be right.
What color were you thinking?
I've kind of fallen away from liking the copper wire for the wrap- I like using it for binding, but not for the wrap. Personal taste, I suppose.

To bring out the dark highlights. Accent with copper or gold.

Ooh-la-la! Magnifique!

I like it in the silver very much. If you wanted to add some contrast you could use liver of sulfer and antique the metal. Both silver and copper will take a patina with LOS.

Bravo on this one, miket! (yahoo)

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

You didn't over do it at the top. It all has a nice flow and the wrap compliments the stone. I think you did well. I like it as is.

The wire is very expressive of your style, and goes well with the stone. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! I was a little worried about trying to wrap that kind of shape but it came together super easily.

Thanks, Tela!
I wondered if it was a bit off-balanced at the top but I like it. I did move the top wire on the front over just a bit to line up more with the division of colors of white and red after I took the pic and it looks better.

Thanks Bill.
I think I just got in a little close on the picture, probably could have done better. It really is a nice stone.
I appreciate the compliment.
