Labradorite pendant

In hnour of spring, I would like to showcase one of my latest wire wrapped pieces.

At the center of the weave is a beautiful labradorite crystal from India, playing in hues of blue and green. If the light is just right one can almost see a galaxy within.

The stone is wire wrapped with tarnish resistant silver plated copper wire.

The design is as unique as the stone, organically created, directed by the nature of the crystal.

Giving to charity 2020.

Yup, this year I decided for every piece of jewellery I sell in the run up to Christmas, I will donate ￡1 per item sold to a local charity dear to my heart.

I already offer FREE postage in the UK, contributing to a lower price for the buyer, but I commit to also donating to charity.

If I sold all my 200+items that would mean ￡200 to charity, at a time when as a human family we need to work together to help each other navigate 2020.

In total I was able to donate £10+ Gift Aid to two charities in the UK, following the sale of 10 items in the run up to Christmas 2020.

My two online shops are on Etsy (US platform) and Folksy (UK platform). Each shop has a unique stock.

Jade silver pendant

This delicate pendant was conceived from the desire of incorporating precious metals into my wire wrapping.

The silver wire is .99 pure. in total there are 6 g of silver wire incorporated in the design. The stone itself is also a semi precious stone – jade. A beautiful stone which plays in hues of light green and blue green veins.

The delicate features of the webbing would make it a perfect compliment to an evening attire; would go perfectly with that delicate “black number” that all women have in their wardrobe. Of course as the design is avant garde; boho chic – it can compliment your smart casual style too.

__________________________________________________________________________

The inspiration for this pendant came by using a tutorial. Yes I try to see how others are doing things to gain insight into methods of wrapping.

The intricate weaving and shapes were dictated by the wires and the beads; and it allowed me to lose myself in the detail when making it. By the time the pendant was finished it dawned on me that it could be linked up with the steampunk fashion trend; due to the curvy and circular lines of the weave.

As it is a hand made object; re-creating an exact replica will be impossible; which is why it is a unique piece of jewelry.

This item will look nice on a long hanging necklace and can be worn during the day or as part of a night outfit.

_________________________________________________________________

The pendant itself is up-cycled from a botryolite chain. I felt that each stone should have its own setting rather than just being hung on one thread; therefore each stone will be changed into unique pendants, weaved in different shapes.

The pendant can be worn either with the full stone showing or the weaving taking center stage. Can be worn using a silver or copper chain; will look amazing worn as a day time pendant or as part of your evening ware.
