Very nice. That must have taken a lot of time.

I don't care for it. I think the gold wire takes away from the gold nugget.

It is beautiful, however I think the gold nugget gets lost. I am the type of person that likes to mix wire so I would have used silver wire to wrap. Tami

I usually am too for simple wraps, but this time I like it. it seems that nugget is the "mother" of all those wires that surround it.

for those of you who think the wire overwhelms the nugget, it does. The nugget is the size of a small pea. The pendant is only one inch long. The gold wire and the flourishes were at the request of my friend, she likes lots of fancy wire. Don't let the picture fool you, it is a small fairly delicate pendant. I used 22 gauge wire and 28 gauge wire for the wrap. I guess the main point is my friend was happy with it which was the goal.
