I've been busy gearing up for a big show next week. Here's what I've been working on. wrapped in argentium sterling silver. I noticed that the argentium wire is brighter and more like sterling this time around...good!

GYP Agate


Snowflake Obsidian


Charoite, I noticed a prong was off in the photo; it's fixed now :)


Turquoise


Blue lace


GYP agate

Oh Don,
Those are lovely.

I really like the gauge of wire you picked for the various settings and the smoooooth designs.

I often see wire-wrapped designs where the wire is either too thick [and overkill] or too thin [and weak] looking.

Well done there!!!! yes

For sure the 1st one is a show stopper but you knew that that's why you put it first
