not too long ago i received an email from a lady who wanted just to be able to wrap 3 of our expensive cabochons. She knew that she could never afford them and just wanted to touch, feel and see them in person. All she wanted in return was to pick out some other cabochons of equal value for her silver. Well, i was a little worried at first, but after talking to her for a couple weeks threw email.... i sent them off to her plus the cabochons she wanted as payment. Well heres what i got back and i couldn't be happier.... She even sent a wire wrapped choker necklace to put the stone on, plus some earrings...... Sometimes it good to trust someone. i think she got the short end of the deal. ;)  Victoria Stone    Mtorolite.   |

Holy smokes! You certainly got quite a prize with those lovely wrapped stones. She is a very talented wire wrapper and does an amazing job. Love the uniqueness of those pendants. Am sure that with the great cabs you folks make with those super slabs, that it will be an equal trade, but I hope you sent your best!

Simply WOW!  I really don't have words to describe how beautiful those wraps are. And here people thought my wire coiling was anal retentive! That just puts mine to shame! |

Wow her wirework is absolutely perfection! It would do her justice to share the artists name, in my opinion. Could generate some work for her.

This wire/weaving blew me away. It is the most beautiful work I have ever seen.
They remind me of exotic tropical fish or birds.
So dang beautiful MaryAnn but without Ralph's hard work into the cabbing these works of art wouldnt be possible:)

I don't do wire rap because I don't know how. But, I have followed this thread, and other wire rappers, since their inceptions and every time I get there I simply melt when I see these again.  |

I do not usually like or comment on wire wrap but these three are very good looking even to my artistic tastes and preferences....
Wow.
