I wanted to treat this amethyst crystal a little differently than by traditional wire wrapping methods and also didn't want it to be too ornate. I ended up with this swirly sort of copper cage.   Thanks for looking!  Dawn |

Wow!!! That is gorgeous. I love how you caged the amethyst. It's a perfect balance - enough to be artistic, but doesn't overpower the amethyst.

I love it The flowing wire doesn't fight with the quirky roughness of the lil' amethyst nugget, so it's a great wrap for it Love, love, love it edit: I'm on a real nugget/undrilled/organic-feel/rough kick right now |

Thank you very much ladies and Kevin! That's the look I was going for and it makes me happy that I seem to have succeeded. I have two more stones that are very similar in size, shape and color and hope to give them the same sort of treatment. Since it's a free form type of wrap, they won't be the same, but it'll be the same idea. Thanks again! Dawn |

It looks super, very balanced. Did not think copper and amethyst would go so well together. It can hop right into my jewelry box |

Yup, agree with others. I think it works especially well where the wrapping has some space between the wire and the crystal. Kind of a negative space thing going on there.

I just love it! It has a beautiful "fall" and as Michele said - the wrap does not overpower the stone.

Sylvia, Sue and Irith, your kind words are very much appreciated - thank you! Sylvia, I wasn't sure about amethyst and copper either, but when I put them together I really liked it. Originally, I was thinking purple had to go with silver; glad I was wrong! Dawn |
