The outer border is finished in a heavy braided gold trim that frames the whole piece like the lead came of a cathedral window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eI tried several types of goldwork cording before I found exactly the right combination that gives this design its depth and dimension. That geometry only works when the cording has weight and presence.
