Gorgeous stone and you did an incredible job with the wrapping! VERY elegant! Did you groove it?

Nice job! What type / gauge wire do you use for your groove wraps? Karock

Nice work hub. Yes, please tell us about your procedure. How do you groove the stone. Do you do it after it is cabbed or as a preform?

Sorry I'm so slow to respond Lynn, yes is grooved after its cabbed and polished. There is a great tutorial on groove wrapping on this site,from Adriain,thats how I learned
