Netted Bezels, Wire Wrap Bracelet, etc.

Finally I got to make a netted bezel cab based on Delia Stone's tutorial. I have tried it before but it was not very successful. No picture was taken for this failed project. This time around it worked. I use 27ga stainless steel wire for the net. This cab is part of a bracelet with Goldstones. See more pix below. wire wrapped bracelet with netted bezel cab (goldstone)wire wrapped bracelet with netted bezel cab (goldstone)wire wrapped bracelet with netted bezel cab (goldstone)wire wrapped bracelet with netted bezel cab (goldstone)Other wire wrapped components of the bracelet (top pix) and the finished bracelet (bottom pix) on William's wrist. finished bracelet on William's wrist

Prong Ring - My First

Finally made my first prong ring today and that is all that I did today! Actually, the stone (opal) was originally from an earlier ring but it was way to big so i have to redo it. This ring is based on Dianne Karg Baron's tutorial for a two tone prong ring. Very happy with the outcome as I have been wanting to make this type of ring for a long long time. wire wrapped prong ring in sterling silver wire and opal wire wrapped prong ring in sterling silver wire and opal wire wrapped prong ring in sterling silver wire and opal
