NEW ARROWHEAD PENDANT AND MORE FUSED GLASS PENDANTS

New arrowhead Pendant and more Fused glass Pendants

Today, just because it was sitting on my wordbench, I wire wrapped an arrowhead. Never done that before. Arrowheads are very fragile, almost like chalk. Obviously I don’t know anything at all about them. It’s about 2 7/8″ long (including the bail) and 1 5/8″ wide. Because it is so delicate looking, I used a very small wire – 24g – to wrap it. Now that it’s done, I’m not sure what I’ll do with it other that have it sitting on my workbench. I’ll show it to my grandchldren, but they’re almost teenagers and won’t be that interested, I’m sure.

Below are 2 fused glass pendants I wrapped today. One is wrapped with Copper wire, and the second has tarnish resistant silver plated wire. The second is pretty smal so again I used 24g wire to wrap it. I don’t like to have the wire hide the beauty of the colors in the glass.

Minimalist Wire Wrapped Geode Pendant

Minimalist style, small, pink geode wire wrapped Jewelry Pendant

Pink Geode Pendant Wire Wrapped in Silver Plated Wire (parawire)

I decided to try wrapping a geode in a minimalist style. This geode is a translucent darker pink around the perimeter and an almost white quartz color around the center. The colors are very Spring like and will look great with Spring and Summer tops. The geode measures 1 1/4″ wide and about 2″ long. It a smaller size pendant. It was very easy to do this wrap, and on Pinterest there are many pictures with instructions.

I like to wrap wire around the bail. It gives the bail more stability and makes the bail an important part of the design. I also like to make a large bail. Even the lobster clasp from an omega chain will fit through the bail giving the wearer a lot of options for a chain or cotton or leather cord although I think a pink leather cord would look really well with this geode.

Here are pictures of the front and back of the geode.

This colorful pendant is a ‘best seller’. The colorsare perfect for a Summer day.

The pendant is made using a fused glass technique and glass colors of white, yellow, blue and turquoise. I did a simple wire wrap using non-tarnish copper wire and multiple curlicues at the time. The bail is large, will fit on most chains including omega chains.

I made the fused glass pendant using a technique called a ‘puddle’. I stacked 7 layers of 3mm glass on each other and fused them together. As it fused and spread out, it became a solid piece of glass that looked like a puddle. Once it cooled, I “wacked’ it hard with a hammer, splitting it into many pieces. I then laid the pieces on their side and fused them again to melt the pieces into cabochon shapes. No two are alike.

The wire wrap is a tarnish-resistant copper wire. It has a nylon coating preventing air from tarnishing the wire.

It is also somewhat hyperallergic because of the nylon coating. It definitely won’t tarnish around your skin.

Should the pendant get dirty, just massage it with a drop of blue Dawn, rinse it off and let it air dry or hand dry it. It will be like new.

Something New for your Fall Wardrobe

Fall…a time for sitting by the fire, hot chocolate. ,colorful leaves and copper jewelry

geode
Copper jewelry is great all year round, but especially in the Fall. It is warm, comforting and casual. It reminds you of sitting by the fire with a cup of hot chocolate. It goes really well with your Friday casuals and your Saturday jeans. Whether you are at work, shopping, or you are a soccer mom, copper jewelry will always look good. This pendant is especially appropriate because it is a natural stone, a geode. It is wire wrapped with a special copper enameled wire that has a nylon coating; it does not require polishing.

With the current style of mixing metals, you can choose to wear your pendant on a silver or gold chain or even an omega necklace up to 3/4″ wide. A black suede cord would also be nice for the Fall.

The copper wire is a very complimentary to the blue-greens in the geode.
The pendant is about 2″ wide and 3 1/2″ long. It is not heavy and will hang nicely from your chain and maintain a balance so it will never look askew on your neck. It is only $25.00 and will come to you in a gift wrapped box via USPS priority mail. Most of my jewelry is unique, and I only have one of these blue-green geode pendants. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you.
