I prefer working with natural stone with no dye but my dad brought me some agates & other stones he had collected a few years back. He decided to give them to me so I could do something with them. I did this wrap with black 21 gauge square & 21 gauge half round wire. What do ya think about it? Attachments:

Actually you could wear it either way. Here's the other side. Attachments:

I like it. Never saw black wire before on a wrap. It compliments the stone perfectly. Great job.

Neat! That is a real zinger!
Questions - Is the wire solid black, or is it coated? And where do you find these colored wires?
Regards,
Bill

Bill, it is copper wire that has been coated. You can get it from Parawire.com. Check them out, quite a good selection to choose from.

Hey Donnie,
That black wire is perfect with the pink. Turns it into an real eye-popper.

Donnie, that is one sweet wrap on a really pink stone. They work very well together.

The black on pink is striking and I bet your dad was tickled pink to see that you wrapped something he gave you.
