Oh how cool. Ken those are amazing! The gold is so perfect (was there any other choice?) and you gave them just the right amount of pizzazz.

Yea, those are very nice! I like the choice of wire for the stone, and the wrap is excellent! I like seeing all these great works here, gives me some much needed inspirations. Thanks; Mike

A really nice set, Ken! Goldstone is one of my favorites (although some don't like it because it's man-made) and setting it in the gold wire is just awesome. At today's prices for gold-filled wire, that's a fairly expensive bracelet, but it's worth it.

Look nice to me. Have you done many wraps?

Toad.....I have done hundreds of pendants, earrings and bracelets. Got tired of doing the same old thing. Same with cabs. Have hundreds of them. At the roundup I was selling $5 cabs for $1 just to get rid of some of them. I have probably 50 bracelets from $25-75 just sitting here. About the same with pendants.

Didn't look like beginner work, that's why I asked. Don't care for goldstone, but you do great work.

Nice Ken! I know what you mean about having stuff just laying around-we have all seem to have this need to create, then have nothing to do with what we create! I wear some of my stuff, but most of it sits in a box. kj

Ken, you made them and wrapped them in one day? Yiks, I have a lot to do to catch up to your pace (As if I could)! Those are really beautiful! Fran

I've never been crazy about goldstone - but then I had never seen any done in such a setting. Those are beautiful!
