Brecciated Jasper Copper Pendant - Commissioned Piece

This is a large gemstone focal pendant which I completed yesterday.

(Side View)
The gemstone is called Brecciated Jasper and is a focal curved triangle shape, 50mm long x 50mm wide x 6mm thick with a 3mm hole. Jasper is a detoxifying nice grounding stone, promoting health and organization.

The pendant is set in a frame in natural copper artistic wire and I've weaved a Blooming Rose for the bail, as well as a 17" (+ 1.5" ext) "Old Fashioned Chains" to complement the large pendant.

Focal Pendants with Rose Bail - Commissioned Piece

I got these large focal gemstone pendants quite some time ago but didn't know what to do with them until I decided to do a bail for them. As the hole is at the top (front to back), I came up with a few designs but somehow I like this one, the rose design, the best. I made the old fashioned chains to go along with them.

(Sold)
This is Malachite Crazy Lace Agate Gemstone Focal Teardrop shape,
done with natural copper artistic wire.
The pendant itself measures 45mm x 35mm.


(Sold)
The above is Aqua Crazy Lace Agate Gemstone Focal Teardrop shape,
measuring 45mm x 35mm.
The bail and chain was crafted with silver artistic wire.
Thanks for looking ! =)

Old Fashioned Chain

"Old Fashioned Chain" is the creation of Ms Bobbi Maw of http://MyWiredImagination.blogspot.com and was presented by http://JewelryLessons.com. I found this free tutorial when I was browing thru JL when I first started my wirework craft.

These are made with all the scraps of wire left that I had after a project. They're made with different gauges of wire, therefore you'll get a thinner or thicker chain. The wire is cut according to specified/required length, looped on both ends and then linked to each other.
These are good option if you do not have the ready-made chains available. Hmm.. I kinda like this chain, though.
Thanks for looking !

Free-Form Flower Wire Earrings

I was playing with wire for the past couple of days and came up with these earrings/ear studs. Previously when I was experimenting with the wire to make flowers it didn't come out as what I expected. So, this time I did it!

This one is crafted with silver artistic wire with clusters of 4mm round Turquoise beads, Swarovski crystals and pearls dangling from the middle.
The flower petals which is partially handcoiled with wire itself
measures 2.5cm and total length from top of petal to bottom of cluster is about 4.5cm,
hanging from handforged french ear wire.
Clusters can be made longer and be replaced other beads, if preferred.


This simple pair is done stud style. Slightly less than 2.5cm (Appropriate for me! ;) )

This is how it looks on the ear.


The above pair is crafted with brass artistic wire,
approximately 3cm in size, dangling from handforged ear wire.

And this is how it looks dangling from the ear.

I guess that's about the only pictures that I'm posting for this week. The school holidays are here which coincides with the upcoming Hari Raya Aidil Fitri.
So, here's wishing all Muslimin and Musliman
~ Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri.
Maaf Zahir & Batin. ~
