Okay, when it rains, it apparently pours for me! Here's the jade cab I shared in the cab thread (jade pulled out of Big Sur waters by Nephrite) framed with Memory wire and 26 gauge sterling, with added beads of jade, carnelian, agate, sterling beads and a few a couple of pearls: And a piece of bo in 22 square gold filled. These are also gifts! ;D

who ever the gifts are for, they sure are lucky. Beautiful job with the jade bracelet and that BO pendant is great.
Is there any difference working with silver or gold as far as ease in wrapping. I have never wrapped using GF wire.

Thanks sitnwrap! Well, maybe since I"ve had that gold filled for a while before using it, maybe a year? It was HARD wire!! Usually gold filled is softer than sterling, working with it. Possibly, it hardened up, being moved around in my wire case.

You could name that bracelet "the Ocean Bracelet", with that jade and pearls on it.
Beautiful colors on that Labradorite.

Possibly, it hardened up, being moved around in my wire case. The gold-filled I've worked with was really, really hard, too. It was supposed to be half-hard, but it's WAYYYY harder than my half-hard SS. Great job on both! I really love the BO!
