I was supposed to be working on my sister's necklace for her wedding, but I found myself wanting to work on something not requiring so much concentration for today. So I grabbed my wire and decided to play instead. Now, if I keep doing this instead of working on her necklace, I might be in trouble. Ocean Jasper Amethyst I purchased this as petrified Algae...but it might be Oolite And an unknown picture jasper I thought I'd give you guys a variety.

Oooo, These are really beautiful but maybe you should put all other stones away when you go to work on your sisters necklace.lol.
I love that Amethyst and wrap. That one is sweeeet. I also love the way you wrapped the Petrified Algea. The flow of the wire is wonderful.

Donna, If she wanted a wrapped stone for her wedding, I wouldn't be so timid. But no!! My little sister has the utmost faith in my abilities...and wants a full necklace with set, faceted stones as the centerpiece attached to a strand of seed pearls. (I really thought about shipping all the stones off to another jeweler with the design and just letting her believe I did it...but then I realized she'd just ask me for something even more complicated next!) Jo, I did the last picture jasper after that Ocean Jasper because I needed something more simple after the craziness of that one.

Gorgeous pendants, Ronda! That amethyst is my favorite, it's almost pictural. Your sister could simply pick one of those beauties for her wedding. But if this is "play" compared to what you plan for her, you surely have to show us what you come with.

I keep going back to the first one. The top reminds me of one of those intertwined puzzles. They are all really great and I think after your play time, you will do a great necklace for your sister. Fran

NOW, get to work on your sisters. You know what happens when it is last minute. Murphy's law kicks in. ;D ;D ;D ;D I thiink you jinxed me, Ken! I melted one of the leaves, and then the replacement leaf went down the drain when I was scrubbing it after pickling! Now I'm still short a leaf...

Awesome wraps Ronda.... I have to agree with everyone else... that Ocean Jasper is so cool... I can understand why you did a " simple " wrap after that one ... And I hope that pendant for your sister dosen't give you any more problems ( as long as Ken keeps his mouth shut lol ).....
