I got invited to a wine and art show at the beach in October. So I have been working like mad to build up some inventory. These are all wrapped in copper to add to my lower cost items. Unknown Agate Flintridge Flint Picture Jasper Brazilian Chrysocolla Thanks for looking

Those are great and I love that Brazilian. The way the metals are going up in price, copper wraps wont be in your less expensive section for very long. lol

Beautiful work! I like mostly the top loops of the first one and the heart. The chryssocolla also goes very well with copper.

Very nice pieces. I really admire clean precise wire wraps that allow the rock to remain the main focal point.

OK, I'm not a wrapper so excuse my ignorance. How do you keep the copper from tarnishing? Or do you have to clean like sterling? Beautiful work by the way.

Really nice! I like them so much I ordered up some square and half round copper wire. So... what do I do when the copper turns after a month or so? Tony

I love that bottom Chrys. That makes me keep going back to it. I like the look of the copper. I had to go and order some wire as soon as you said where you got it. Thanks for the info! Fran

Thank you for all the comments. To keep all my wraps looking their best I use a product called Joy Mangano's Jewelry cleaner. This stuff works great.

Great wraps, Jeremy - that Brazilian heart has to be my favorite.
You can also dip copper in lemon juice to brighten it back up.
