Recently cabbed labradorite, and new tute from Eni, modified! I wrapped the cab like Eni's ring tute, then put it in a Eni's bracelet tute that usually uses all beads. I've never tried doing a bracelet, but I'm happy! It turned out pretty much how I pictured it in my head. Although it kind of looks like a watch with no watch...lol! and in the sun...

Thats killer, it doesn't look like a watch.
Here we go again with the wrapper's slang, what happened to 21gss DS square binding talk? What the heck is a eni? And, what the heck is a wrapped tute? I love the bracelet, even if it is a tute.

Lol, you're funny! Eni is a jeweley designer and wire wrapper. Here's her site: www.enijewelry.com/index.htmlShe's really nice, and likes to see what people do from her tutorials ('tute'). I used memory wire for the base, then it's all 26 gauge sterling round wire, with sterling, glass, jade, and agate beads. I did cement in the stone, because it's so flexible at that size, it can pop out. From your thread, you have tons of beautiful cabs to wrap!!

I use Aleene's Jewelry Metal Glue. And to tell the truth, I so far it's worked! I haven't been doing this so very long (gluing a few), so....take that for what it's worth!

I know from personal experience that her style is a bugger. You did a great Job.
