What's the metal? Bronze or copper? Cathy

Are you going to glue it to the back or are you making attachment or converter? I would like to see what you do. I have made a pin in the wrap, but that would be hard to do with the way that you wrapped the stone. Are you making a converter?

Traditional broaches would have the pin soldered to the back onto the metal bezel. With wire-wrap, I guess you HAVE to epoxy it? Soldering the wire would be hard to do.

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. You CAN make your own pin section into your wire wrap. When I make a pin I always include a converter when I sell it, that way it can be a pendant as well as a brooch. I will wrap a brooch and show it.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
