This is a crazy lace cab I made a long time ago. I was just waiting for the right inspiration to come along to wrap it. I wanted to wrap it without covering much of the stone at all. The cab is very thin also which added to the challenge. Finally last night I decided to use 26G Argentium wire and to wrap it like this. How did I do?  Amy |

That looks great Amy, I think you did a great job on not covering up the stone. I like the simplicity of the wrap especially since there is a lot going on in that cab.
I totally understand having to wait for the right inspiration to wrap a stone. I have a few cabs sitting around waiting for me to get inspired about them.

The swirls in the wrap match perfectly with the patterns in the crazy lace cab.
Beautiful pendant.

Wow this piece is remarkable, and the pattern of the crazy lace is awesome. It looks as if there are people at the bottom of the piece. Is this piece for sale? If so please PM me I really love it...
