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.

New Wire Wrapped Cabochons

Wire wrap Pendants Dec 2012

I’ve been doing some wire wrapping lately. Here are some of them.
From left to right:
Blue Crazy Lace Agate,
Owl on Green Resin
Flamingos and Tropical Scene on Green & Blue Resin
Seahorse and Shells on Blue Resin
Deep Blue Amethyst
They are all about 20x30mm.
Some of them I surrounded with glass beads, which seems to be very nice and adds another dimension to the cabochons.
They are all wrapped in a silver colored jewelry wire that does not tarnish or change color, and they have nice big bales so they can be fitted over necklaces with small clasps.
I hope my friends like them.
Thanks.
