I wrapped this for my daughter on her birthday. She thought the stone looked like a mushroom so I put a small stem on it. She loves it all but I am not happy with the stem. She is the one wearing it so I am happy that she is happy.

The wire is Beadalon 22ga fancy square non tarnish silver plated. I am not good enough to use real silver and probably never will be.

Thanks for looking
Jim

I usually don't commment on wraps because I can't do them but:

A few obsevations "I'm not happy with the stem" - when I saw it I thought to myself I love the stem and then read your post after

"I'm not good enough to use silver..." - I think it looks perfect, it looks to me you could use whatever you want

I think it looks spectacular
Great job
Bill

Awesome pendant!!

I did not see the nautical look until Randy pointed it out. I really like that description. Jim

You ARE ready for silver. Beware, though- working with it makes one a little paranoid at first, just relax while you use it.

Jim, I love it! The wrap is incredible and I love the stem...especially with the colors in the rock! You did a great job and shouldn't sell yourself short. A few have told me that we are often our own worst critics. I think that's true but there isn't really anything here to be critical of. Take it to the next level!!!
