not too long ago i received an email from a lady who wanted just to be able to wrap 3 of our expensive cabochons. She knew that she could never afford them and just wanted to touch, feel and see them in person. All she wanted in return was to pick out some other cabochons of equal value for her silver. Well, i was a little worried at first, but after talking to her for a couple weeks threw email.... i sent them off to her plus the cabochons she wanted as payment.
Well heres what i got back and i couldn't be happier.... She even sent a wire wrapped choker necklace to put the stone on, plus some earrings...... Sometimes it good to trust someone. i think she got the short end of the deal.

How many different ways are there to say "wow?" Those are really incredible. And it is so nice to see a happy end to a trusting story. Thanks for sharing, Mary Ann.

BTW--perhaps she would be interested in talking to the rest of us?

Honestly, that's the most amazing work that I've seen with wire!! The designs are beautiful, and the work is flawless. I see that very much time went into each one of those, and you did a great job on taking the pics as well. Thanks for posting

Sure looks like her work.... They are fantastic! I've tried to do bail a like that, but I just ended up messing it all up... And the woven bezel on that Mtorolite is just too sweet!!!

Usually I'd say they are too busy, but the wraps still manage to show off the stones very well.

Stunning!!!!! Absolutely beautiful!!! Beautiful cabs and flawless wraps. I love that third one best. I need to jumpstart my imagination and come up with more imaginative stuff like that. Those make mine look so plain. You definately got the best of that deal.

The complexity doesn't overpower the stone either. Amazing! Nate
