Description
Still trying to upload and edit my square experiments.The bronze and gold colored wire works nicely with the freeform brecciated turquoise that I like to play with. I like the brilliant sun on water pattern that they tend to give.
Since it's not been easy to find chains that suit, I've been trying to coordinate ribbons. I like using the satin/organza type mix when I can find them. Seems to make them a little more likely to blend and less overbearing than a solid ribbon would be. (Okay, and maybe I like the photographic effect too
)This piece is/will be for sale. Should be on etsy [link] at some point, or note me
$48+shipping

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!

(They don't actually make a turquoise wire, I keep hoping for them to come out with a larimaresque color in parawire!)

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.

Ah, excellent! That makes my life a lot easier, thank you!
