Concertina

21ga square and 20ga half-round wire, tumbled amethyst. Modeled by my lovely assistant (with an F# and A#).

Made as a Christmas present for for a gift exchange; companion to [link]
The very last wrap of the Christmas 2011 set, and by far my favorite - it's the first time I've even attempted to suspend a stone inside the wrap! Somehow, after lots of careful bending and tugging, the result is fairly stable and perfectly secure, and even looks kinda pretty !
The bail is somewhat following the musical theme, with flowing staves and a sequence of little notes to the lower left-hand part.
