This was a commission piece I did.  Crazy lace agate with a nice druzy in it.

Very easy on the eye. A lot of wraps overwhelm the stone and do not have a focus. The small details on the edge ease the visual impact of the wrap and then you have a focal point that leads to visual strength above it .Very nice.

Elegant - nicely compliments the stone.
One of the nicest wire-wrappings I have seen

Thank you both.  I try hard to wrap and make the stone the focus (as it should be).  I have found that most folks like the simpler is better approach when it comes to wrapping.  I myself love weaving wire, so I do a woven bail to satisfy my need to weave.  It's kind of become my signature around here.   :icon_sunny:

The weave is clean and beautiful and calls just enough attention to itself. First  wrap I have unreservedly liked.

I'm hard pressed to figure out which I love more - the stone or the wrap.  Both are gorgeous!   :icon_sunny:
I like how you centered the druzy pocket in the stone.   :love7:

Thanks!  I had originally planned to use that stone for something for myself eventually, but a friend of Vince's sister was in town from Germany and she always comes over to see what we have and buys quite a bit, so when she saw that stone and asked me if I could wrap it for her, I couldn't say no.  She is a rock lover extraordinaire and loves to "commune" with the stones.   :thumbsup:
