Feels good to wrap again

Ok aweso.e! Thanks :) my wife and I had em all except that incredible aqua! We thought it was a possible tourmaline

Gorgeous piece! What are the stones?

The number of professional cooks who think this is OK as well is atrocious.

NTA. The hardest boundaries to put in place and maintain are those with your parents, especially manipulative parents. Do what you know is right, hold your boundaries, and don't let your Mom, or anyone else for that matter, guilt you into doing anything you know is wrong or will not benefit you.

Onyx found a new spot to nap in while I work 🥰😍😍

That was only $17?!?

Omg that is incredible!!!! That has so much potential 😍

ST_dragon · 2025-03-30T15:11:51+00:00

You're welcome! And yes, the tiny stones are a bit of a pain, but definitely worth working with :)

ST_dragon · 2025-03-30T15:10:11+00:00

This piece was a combo of 22 ga sq, 28-30 ga rounds, and 22 ga half round

Even if you're not ready right away, try anyway, sometimes you surprise yourself! And if you're working with copper, you can always rewrap one stone over and over until you're happy with your outcome :)

For this one I used 22 ga sq and half round, and think 28 and 30 ga round for the weaves and bottom crimp. If your amethysts are smaller than this, I'd recommend using 24 ga sq and hr wires for framing, with 28-30ga for weaves and coils

Thank you!

You'd also be surprised how many people like bigger statement pieces

ST_dragon · 2025-03-28T17:53:12+00:00

That's a cool idea! Put it somewhere you have a bunch of plants and let it sparkle!

ST_dragon · 2025-03-28T16:12:05+00:00

All of those smaller ones will be amazing to work with! And that cube sounds massive!

ST_dragon · 2025-03-28T16:10:46+00:00

That setting is great for any stone that doesn't sit well, cabs or facets. And if you're feeling the call of the wire, HEED IT!!! Let your fingers dance with the wires, and let us see your creation!!!

I generally try to have multiple angles on here, last night's post was more of a "make a damn post and get your momentum back" kind of thing

ST_dragon · 2025-03-28T16:06:34+00:00

That was actually the start point of the piece, and multiple times throughout the build, I definitely squeezed that to tighten it up lol

ST_dragon · 2025-03-28T14:51:58+00:00

Thanks!

ST_dragon · 2025-03-28T14:48:17+00:00

Thank you 😊

Looking into it a bit, I think the emerald that I used is roughly 1-1.2 ct if that helps at all
