Breaking up wrapping pendants and expanding to other jewelry items we have a simple bracelet made from Gold filled wire and a cabochon of Picture Jasper. This is a fairly common pattern for these cuff type bracelets and sometimes the uniqueness is in the latch. The stone is larger than I would like and does not conform to the curve of the wrist real well so it has to be securely wrapped so that it does not wobble out. Thanks for looking. -Banjo

Beautiful bracelet! The cab is beautiful and goes perfectly with the gold wire.

Really nice work! I wonder if you cabbed a concavity into the back you could get it to conform to the wrist more comfortably? I've been wanting to do one of those, but have never gotten past the "what if" stage Love that in the gold. Tony

You did a stunning job on that and I love the twisted wire in the middle. There is nothing "Standard" about that bracelet. but it is extrodinary. Thank you for sharing a pic with us.

That sucker is really pretty. I can barely figure out how to do the simplest of wraps let a lone something as complex as that. Nice work.

Thanks for the compliments. Really. I'm trying a bit more silver smithing and for bracelets it seems a bit more durable. But I really enjoy wrapping to look for new ways to present stones. Thanks -Banjo

That looks great, and also like a lot of work. Out of my skill set for a while I think.
