I bought the cab (botswana I think) a while ago from Ebay, before I knew I'd eventually buy my own cabbing machine. Here is wrapped using some sample silver wire that sitnwrap was so kind to send me, as I didn't have square wire at all. I used her wire for the frame and wow, what I difference. It took me almost only half the time to wrap it than it usually takes me with my bulky round wire. The whole thing is so sleek, l love it. Now I'm gonna buy square and half round wire from the US, and keep the round wire for my other type of wire working Marika

The wire work in the top (thin wire) fits very well to the thin bands in the Botswana. Beautiful!

That is A beautiful wrap, I do love your weave bails. My first wrap was done with thick wire, 20 gauge, and I also found it too bulky even for large cabs. It is a very lovely piece. Very dainty!

I like that wrap, not too much. Love the stone, I would have never guessed that it was transparent. Tami
