What are the best or most desirable shapes for wrapping? Do specific shapes make it easier to wrap? I haven’t seen a whole lot of circles now that I think of it. Or rectangles for that matter.

Just my observation, I don't see a lot of circles being wrapped because I don't see a lot of circles being made. I think they're one of the most difficult shapes...there's no room for error. I think the same is similar to rectangles...there's no room for error on either of those shapes.

I had to cut my last response short...Trigger wanted/needed to go outside! LOL
With regards to your questions about which shapes are easier or more desirable for wrappers...I really feel that's based upon each wrappers "comfort" level...or knowledge base for that matter. I wouldn't have been comfortable wrapping "angular" pieces six months ago...now, I don't feel they're a problem. For me personally, I think symmetrical shapes are easier to cab...at least from a design standpoint...odd shapes make me think harder! LOL

IMO Ovoids and teardrop shaped are easiest to wrap, and anything with sharp corners other than at the top can be challenging.

I think my favorites are triangles. I do like a lot of angles.

Circles and rectangles can be wrapped. It just takes more time and usually the use of prongs, although I have wrapped rectangles without prongs. It is easier to wrap stones with gentle curves, no matter what shape it actually is. Triangular shapes can be tricky, too.
