Apologies for all the massive photo dumps today. Realised I had not put a lot of photos of jewellery onto my professional page. All done.

A friend had a large turquoise pendant she wanted more done. We worked together looking my existing wire worked pendants and came up with this idea.

I created a soldered sterling silver ring smaller than the setting and built the wire work off of it to bezel set the whole pendant with weaves and accents while utilising the existing commercial bail.

It was a new challenge, I've never combined soldering with wire work before. But it worked beautifully and I believe the back is interesting enough to wear forward too.

Plus, if she ever gets tired of the addition, it can be removed and preserved easily by removing the ring in the back.

Sterling silver 0.8 mm and 0.4 mm round wire. I think the twisted wire on top coil I created with 2 strands of 0.5 mm round sterling silver wire.

The sterling silver will tarnish with age and take on a beautiful patina that will deepen the texture of the many weaves. A brush with a silver polishing cloth will bring all higher areas to a bright shine for an interesting contrast.

Pendant measurements after wireworking: 2.5 in (5cm) height excluding bal x 1.75 in (4.5 cm) width.

A recent push on my normal single stone wire working settings. A friend gifted me the top Amethyst stone and the lower moss agate stone at different times. I thought they looked amazing together and were the perfect shape to trial this new bail weave I've learned

The pendant combines my bezel setting technique with the bail and stone setting explained in the Serene video by You Tube channel Ellie's Handcrafted Jewelry, https://www.youtube.com/

This pendant is made from naked and coated copper. 0.8 mm, 0.4 mm round wire. As the naked copper tarnishes, the coated copper will shine brightly as accents. No solder or glue is used in the manufacture.

The final pendant measures 3 in (8 cm) Height x 1.5 in (4 cm) Width.

The top stone is a pale amethyst that is translucent, allowing any colour from beneath to show through. A great way to showcase a stone with beautiful fronts and backs.

A fun little spin on my normal design. A client had turquoise earrings repaired which created this cute little spare cab, 16 mm x 9 mm. I trapped it in sterling silver wire work bezel setting and surrounded it by twisted, coil wire as the bail and a coiled bead mixing sterling silver and gold filled wire as the client wears silver and gold frequently together.

This pendant is approx 6 cm tall x 3 cm wide in total, quite petite for my usual but a lot of fun.

A sterling silver pendant for a client as a keepsake of trip to Australia.

Solid Boulder opal cab 16 x 8 x 3 mm with crescent bend in wrong axis.

5 mm fine silver bezel, 0.8 mm base plate. Bail 1.5 mm home made twisted wire.

Tough part was the uneven lip of bezel. Shallow on sides and taller on ends. A good challenge to dust the cobwebs off my torch.
