The multiple photos show the piece before and after I outlined the pattern with a pair of twined gimps in colored wire.
Your pieces of jewellery are really beautiful, and skillfully executed.
The coloured outline really does make the peacock standout better. I was wondering how you put in the twined gimps? Did you pass them through the Binche pairs as you would if you had worked them with the lace or are they wrapped around the pairs (which would seem to me to be the easier option)?
Was the thick outline added afterwards also? And do you finish off the ends of the thick outline in the bail of the piece?
Sorry to ask so many questions, but I am always looking at pieces to see how they were made.
