Keep 'em coming Mike!  I looked at some of this material awhile back, but decided against it. It really is some beautiful material, I may have to reconsider it. |

I like it! Just straighten that bail out a bit. It looks a little cattywampus to me.  |

I really like what you did with that one! Those swoopy wires look great against all of that purple.

I really like what you did with the holding wires. The shapes created really reflect the shape of the stone well. Great way to work with the stone.

I still struggle more with round and half-hard wire than I do with square and dead soft but hopefully with enough practice I'll get there. |

I like this also. Purple is nice and dark. The wrap fits your stone shape perfect.

It is an excellent looking wrap! The frame wires are round this time, and it reminds me of a wrapped present. But you could have fooled me. I would have thought this was an Exxon Amethyst.  |

Yep, I tried round- I still think I prefer working with square but maybe I'll get more comfortable with round the more I do it.
Exxon. |
