Hi all, Some of you may remember when I posted a photo some time ago of my first doublet, which was a black plume agate. It was cabbed specifically for my sister who is getting married this month. She had asked if I would make her a pendant to wear at her wedding ceremony. Today I finished the wrap. She requested something EXTREMELY simple and this was the end result: Front: Prong wraps are not easy! If the prongs are not all the same size and at the right angle, , the look is ruined. Back: Bail: I have to thank Jeremy for this bail style. I have always struggled with bails and it wasnt until I purchased a wrap from Jeremy and really studied how he did his, that I was finally able to succeed at them. My sister has seen the cab but not the finished pendant, I hope she likes it!!! Stats: 22g SS sq ds, 21g SS hr hh binding wires Size: 1.75" x .50" Thanks for lookin, Shannon

Weeshan, that's absolutely gorgeous! I love the scroll like bail, and it's elegant and a solid piece as well! I bet she'll love it: I certainly do!

"Prong wraps are not easy" ? ? ? I find them VERY difficult and you did a great job on them! Beautiful pendant.

Beautiful job on the cab (which we drooled over earlier!) and the elegant wrap. Jeremy's bail style is perfect, you did a great job!
She'll treasure it.

OMG that is gorgeous, great job and the bail is fantastic - AND you get extra points for my favorite pictures!!
And OMG that's a lot of wires to get into a bail - but you did it beautifully!

Tweet, I purposely posted the back photo for you!
Instead of just giving my sister the pendant, I sent her an email with a link to this thread so that she could see photos of the pendant and the nice comments that all of you have posted.
Thanks guys!
Shannon

Hi all, My sister's wedding was yesterday evening. It was beautiful and went very well. I thought I would share a photo of my sister wearing the pendant I made her.
