That's the layout you see just above, I had to go to my wire supplier and get some .031" square wire, thats 1/32nd. A bezel flat wire will surround the stone with the square wire being layered and alternated between sterling and gold, then it will be coil wrapped at certain areas. The lines you see at the top of the stone and to the rear of it that extend will be gold and silver wires. As soon as the wire gets here I will continue to show the progress.
Finally got the wire, and then I got stuck and almost started over with a new design. Being so late in the month and knowing this piece had to be done, I was feeling the pressure...
