I really like the look of the cage. They are all very pretty but the cage design could be used with so many stones. Great Job!

Thank you all!! The cage I learned from this tutorial: www.wirejewelryclasses.com/lesson-3-lock-that-rock/It was well worth the cost of the tutorial as I've used it many times. You can also use it for rocks, seashells, sea glass, marbles, tiny figurines, or other trinkets. I'm going to cage some of the smaller stones from my first tumble -- ones that are too small to wrap but too pretty to just sit in a dish. :-) |
