That necklace is just stunning. Lapis lazuli is one of my favorite stones, and your design really brings out its beauty.
I can not tell you how jealous I am. This is lovely. I am new to wire wrapping, and I mean new. I dont think I will ever be able to make something as lovely as the main gemstone setting.
