Here you go, finally a wrap in silver square wire, with half round for the binds. ;D It was really easy to work with ( you all said it would be ), but it is a little difficult getting it to lay just how I wanted it to.... but other than that, no problems ( ok, ok... there are a few tool marks ) . I give you...BuiltonRock's pink onyx in SILVER.... back... and the side... Well John, how's it look? Chris p.s. Fran, I wish I would have read your tips earlier ....

Dude, you're gonna have to do a tutorial on this. This is really good. Can't figure out when you're doing the bindings or when you're putting the stone in. LOL. Jo

I absolutely love this pendant. What you did on the bottom is just super. You must be really happy with your silver and gold wire. WTG!

That's really cool Chris - one of my favorites of yours so far! I like what you did with the circles - very unique style.

Thank you everyone!!!! You all are just too kind :blush: !!!! Jo, naturenut.... A tutorial!?!?!?! ;D Maybe sometime.... next time I have a square cab to wrap I'll see what I can do .... I put the stone in this one just before making up the bail.... I made the binds on the top half of the " frame " small ( only 5 wraps ) so I could bend the wires up easier, but I had to twist the whole thing a little to slip the stone in there. Once the stone was in I made up the bail..... if that makes any sense . lori, sitnwrap.... Yes, this silver is sweet ... I'm gonna try the gold tonight I think. I have this little piece of plume agate from Fran that I have been wanting to wrap for a couple months.... Fran.... Trust me, I still feel like I barely know what I'm doing :help: ... just playing with wire ....I will take any tips you all can give..... Chris
