Pendants

Here are two new styles of pendant, that is new for me!. The first one is a faceted glass cabochon on which I tried my first ever netted bezel. I think it turned out quite well. The wire used is 20g and 28g  copper and the cab is just 1.8 x 1.4cm.
The second was a bit of a challenge because of it's
asymmetry. The stone is a beautiful tigereye, different in pattern on each side. So I decided to keep the wrap very simple and made it a reversible pendant to show off the beauty of the stone all around. Now that I have done it once I am sure others will follow.
I also tried to upload some necklace sets as mentioned in an earlier post but it seems I have to re-edit them to a smaller size. ......so hopefully you will see them next time!

    They both look great! I've got to learn to do the knitted bezel one of these days:)
