Mary S - Sweet Chick says:OK. Please explain why I can’t see the break in the copper rings? Did you solder them or are you just that good at getting the gap to close tightly?
These are great!

seashellsally says:Exceptionally fine wire wrangling!
Leaving the copper unoxidized,……an excellent design choice with this stone. It really highlights the copper color of the stone.

J Yee smart chick says:Starsparkle, such gorgeous calsilica earrings, the copper matches the brown streaks in the beads perfectly! Again, your wirewrapping accentuates the stones wonderfully, the design title says it all!!!

Starsparkle Spiral Chick says:Thanks Chickies
Sweet Chick ~ I think the joins are just cunningly hidden by the ear wires!
seashellsally ~ the copper is oxidised, its the reflection of my petunias that make it look brighter!! :}

K H says:Starsparkle Spiral Chick – you inspired me to to to the Home Depot and buy some brass nut washers and some heavy gague copper electrical wire. I found a clerk that was nicely “jeweled and tatted”, and he understood exactly what I needed.
