Pendant for a Bride-NEW PHOTO!!!

Postby weeshan on Fri Jun 06, 2008 10:24 pm

Some of you may remember the black plume agate doublet that I posted some time ago. It was cabbed specifically for my sister, who had asked if I would make her a pendant to wear for her wedding.

Today I completed the wire wrap. She wanted something extremely simple and this was the end result:

Back:

Bail:

The wrap is 22g square, dead soft Sterling Silver with 21g half round, half hard, Sterling Silver binding wires. The pendant size is 1.75" x .50"

She has seen the cab but not the finished pendant, I hope she likes it!

Shannon, your skills have improved just incredibly over the time you have been doing it. We started at the same time.

I am very impressed, and proud for you.

Hi All,

My sister's wedding was yesterday evening. It was beautiful and went very well but boy am I glad that my duties as coordinator are now over!

I had the opportunity to place the pendant I made for my sister on her neck before the ceremony and thought I would share the photo.

Thanks for lookin,
