[JerseyPearl]

So here is how I spent my afternoon avoiding work (I made this instead):
Hmmm, not sure why the photo posted twice!

And here is the slightly better photo I meant to include the first timeView attachment 38023

 

[JerseyPearl]

Thanks Pattye! It was fun to make...the pearls on this one are all Mangareva from Jacques, of course!

 

[ckrickett]

I love it!

 

[Lady_Disdain]

Beautiful! Are the stones tourmaline?

 

[Tucs]

I approve!

 

[JerseyPearl]

Beautiful! Are the stones tourmaline?

Lady D, the stones are still from the leftover batch of sapphires from this necklace. When they are all bunched together, they are very dark, but when used one at a time, the open color really comes through.

Thanks everyone...ckrickett your creations have been an inspiration!

 

[BWeaves]

Wow. I love that.

Beautiful JP. Did you use gold or gold filled chain?

 

[Lady_Disdain]

Oh, the stones look so much brighter on their own.

 

[JerseyPearl]

Beautiful JP. Did you use gold or gold filled chain?

I used 14k chain, 24 gauge and 26 gauge wires.

Stunning, JerseyPearl!

 

[Bailey1856]

Love it JP! You're so good with wrapping.

 

[JerseyPearl]

Thanks everyone. Bailey, I find it much more difficult to wrap the pointy drop pearls than round pearls...so please don't look too closely!

 

[GemGeek]

That is simply PERFECT! Great job and the pearls aren't bad either!

 

[Marianne]

Gorgeous pearls!!!

 

[kelluvpearls]

Thanks JP! A lot of wire wrapping work here, you're fast becoming an expert.

 

[Icyjade]

JP, I'm super impressed. This looks great and you are so talented!

 

[Bailey1856]

What sort of tools, type of wire, and gauge is best to use for wire wrapping?
