Haven't done a lot of wrapping for a few days, but here is the latest one that I worked on, off and on, for 3 days. Don't know what the stone is, but it's nice and solid and red, and I like red! I guess I really should have wiped my thumbprint off before I took the picture, right? LOL! Front Back Thanks for looking! Tom

Marie, I've been kinda copying off of your pics as well as Randy's, and what I've been trying to do is to reduce the visual impact of the "keeper" bends - the parts that come over the edges to hold the cab in place. I think I'm improving - even I can see the difference! Still, I believe my very best one so far was the big oval jade in gold-filled wire. That one will have to be a gift for a very special person. All I need is a very special person (LOL!) to give it to! ;D ;D

That looks great! Looks like some of the red that I got from Nate. Looks like it could have some hematite in it. That wrap really accentuates the stone! Fran
