So, I’m pretty proud of this piece. My brother saw one of the opals I got in an exchange with Gerard and claimed it. But he said he didn’t want any fufu wrapping around it. So after weeks of trying to get him to tell me what he wanted I finally just wrapped the thing. Now, you can’t see them and this is why I’m so happy with the piece but there are 3 separate wires and that means 6 loose ends and every one of them is hidden  Also I’ve never done a bail like this either. This is the plainest wrap I’ve ever done lol, what do you think? If you’re a guy would you wear it?    Krista |

Great job Krista. You hid those wire ends well and it's such a clean and tight wrap. The bail is definitely different from your usual but it sure adds to the simplicity of the piece. I bet your brother will wear it proudly.

It looks perfect, even magnified in the close up pictures. And it definetely has a masculine look. I would wear it for sure.

I agree with everyone else. Fantastic wrap, and I'd rock that opal! I love opals, but they're usually too girly, so never considered doing one for myself... I think the black matrix really pushes it over to the masculine side. Nate |

Very nice, Krista. A tight, clean wrap that proudly shows of the stone & yes the black opal with that kind of wrap definitely makes it more appealing for a guy!
