You're right about the bronze wire working well with this stone, it looks like a perfect match to the veins in the stone. Beautiful!

Love the way the bronze color echoes the striations in the turquoise. Sooooo pretty!!

Glad it came through. They were kind of an inbetween color, hence the striping to average it!

This is absolutely gorgeous. I love the way the bronze looks against this stone. If it's not imposing, where do you get your wire at?

No problem. I get my precious metals from riogrande and the coated copper I get from elephanteyebeads if I need small amounts, and for bulk I go direct to parawire. (Their shipping is insanely expensive, but good, so only worth it if you're getting a lot.)

I've heard a couple of people talk about riogrande, now. I had been ordering my wire from Parawire. Their prices seem reasonable, but, Parawire sells by the foot, and riogrande sells by the gram, so it's a bit difficult to tell which price is better. Thanks for getting back to me!

I buy parawire by the coil, yes, and rio by the oz. But you can set rio to buy by the foot too.
