Here's today's attempt, kind of a weird shape to wrap. Thanks for looking!   |

I like it!!!  I have a bit of trouble sometimes deciding what to do with the scalene triangle shapes. I've done several cabs this way, and it's hard to decide whether to let the top be a point, or a mid-point like you did here. I like what you did with that though! |

Thanks, I wanted to keep the heart shape somewhat oriented. I haven't given it the hang test, however.  |

Yeah, the weird freeform shapes are the biggest challenge. But it is also the biggest opportunity to get expressive with the wrap and hopefully take the stone to the next level. I am burying a suggestion in this text, as a couple of these stones could benefit from a second picture attempt after a slight touch up on the face with a Sunshine cloth, as I am seeing fingerprints on a couple of your latest. You might want to split the bail also, as there is opportunity. Ok, two suggestions, lol. I think the Imperial Jasper that you managed to acquire and cab was a pretty piece. I've seen some Imperial that looked a lot less "imperial" than this one, and you made the best out of it also. Great piece.
