No Symmetrical Here

I’ve been asked to create more non-symmetrical designs, rather than the always symmetrical and even designs. Here’s one of my first shots at doing just that……A beauty pendant in white Magnesite with dark brown-black matrix highlighting this set; add in chunky nuggets in red Coral between silvertone spacers and black Onyx. It can be worn short or long with the extender and matching dangle earrings in the same stones.

Coral: Diplomacy, quieting emotions, visualization.
Onyx: Self-control, decision making, intuition, recognition of personal strengths.

Wired in Pink Black Silver

Another beautiful Orthoceras pendant handcrafted in non-tarnish silver wire; adorning a pink set of natural stones in Rhodonite and black Jet with off-set accents in silvertone spacers. Wear it long or short with the extender and matching dangle earrings.

Rhodonite: Peace, generosity, attention to details.

Wire Book Review: Contemporary Copper Jewelry

There are some really great books out there on all sorts of jewelry subjects. I came across one by an excellent author, Sharilyn Miller, who has done wire wrapping and beading techniques for years. This new book of hers, called Contemporary Copper Jewelry: Step-by-Step Techniques and Projects, in my opinion, hits the mark on a variety of techniques. As always, it starts out giving basic techniques and instruction suitable for any level of wire wrapper. She incorporates seedbeading into an art with the Peacock Wheels Necklace, gives a fresh look to contemporary pebbles that are ‘free form wrapped’ into aged chain; and adds flare and funk to Coil Dangle Earrings and Coin Pearl Coil Wrapped Bracelet.

An excellent book of projects and techniques, look for it at your local book or hobby/craft store.
