They are both nice, but I think I like the second better. The wire goes so well with the stone.

That first picture is awesome, the way the light hits the wire. They are both beautifully done!

Very impressive pendants, I can't swirl wire to save my life.

Rich, I think the secrets to a good swirl are to allow yourself enough wire, about an inch a swirl, to use one motion, start to finish, to make it and steady pressure, don't lightenn your pressure as you swirl. There you have it how to swirl, in a nut shell.
Thank you all so much, I have been trying to think outside the box lately. I think that over all my wraps will be better for it. Again, thank you for your positive comments.

Very nice, Tammy! Those faceted stones are not so easy to wrap!
