My mother in law has been loving my wraps and picked up this massive tiffany stone cab last fall, and gave it to me to wrap for her a couple weeks ago. She came over for dinner tonight and I sat down and wrapped it while she watched. She's a sweet lady but very particular, and was nervous watching me work but she was very excited to see it wrapped. She had asked for a very large bail so she could put in on some of her larger necklaces. Both she and my wife loved it which was good enough for me!

Beautiful job John! How funny - my momma picked a tiffany stone as well - I just posted it a few minutes ago. Great minds think alike I guess

Wow, excellent wrap there John!!! Do you find it easier to wrap with square wire than round? I have a terrible time with round 22 G silver filled so bad that I sent my roll to someone as a present cos I was so pissed at it LOL

Yes Nick, with the way I wrap - based on a tutorial by Bikerrandy pinned in this forum - the square write is much more straight forward.

Very, very pretty. You guys are posting some lovely works for the moms. The stone is gorgeous and the wrap adds that feminine flair. Nicely done.
