Impact

First and foremost, a very nice piece. At first glance, it seems perfect, without a single flaw. (Also it looks like a ring but I think it's just based on how close the picture is.)

The reason I gave you three and one half stars on originality is because this is one wire form over and over again in your gallery. I don't mean to imply that this is all you do, just it's not new and a surprise every time. So, it's like a B.

In my opinion, a technique is a good one when it is difficult to guess, even for someone experienced. Looking at it right now, I can make some assumptions at what you did but not all, so good job.

The impact this bracelet had one me was one of inspiration. It inspired me to write a critique. It inspired me to do my own wire-wrapping. (Which I do, I just hesitate to post on dA because of my horrible camera.

Now a few nit-picky things. I see in the back of the bracelet that the wires are not the same length. Of course, it's in the back, but still visible. The sterling silver wires in the corner are somewhat loose. Being a wire-wrapper myself, I realize the turns like that can be difficult. I'm sure a little more practice will perfect it. On the band of the bracelet, the sterling silver wrap in the center, there is something peaking out under that. I'm not sure what that is and if it's just I speck, I apologize for pointing it out.

Sorry for such a long comment.

I thought it was a pharaoh ring, but then realized it was a bracelet. Nice Work

That must be an enormous piece of turquoise! I must admit that at first I thought it was a ring, because of the proportions

I love your technique, and envy your skill
