Hello, here are two pendants I made recently, after quite a long break The first one, tie shaped, is a local material and I made it for Ed "Stoner". I completely forgot to take any picture of it before giving it to him in Istanbul, so I kindly asked him to take some pictures of it, which he did. This is why you might recognize the trade mark background of Ed Stoner's pictures.   The second pendant is African blue lace. I made it for Ina, as a birthday present. I planned to make a set of pendant and ear-rings, but one of the small cabs for the ear-rings broke and this is how I came up with this design:   Thank you for looking, Adrian |

I like both, though the first is especially stunning. I haven't seen alot of groove wraps with inside curves. What's your secret for getting it to stay put?

Super nice wraps. I would have guessed Montana agate on that first one.

You sure do a fantastic job on grove wraps!!!!!!!!
Just for old times sake, do you remember back when you were told you could not do wraps like that because somebody else came up with the idea and was going to patent it. I am not good at finding old posts or I would try to find them. Every time I see a groove wrap I wonder what happened to that 'gentleman'.................MrP

He is rich from selling his patented groove wrapped pendants, I suppose  Unclesoska, you ask how do I convince the wire to stay in the inside curves. I could tell you, but you know what I'd have to do after D Adrian |

The concave wrap intrigues me too. Stiff proprietary rules over your way.

 Love that double wrap- so clean and beautiful, but it looks like Ed is the proud owner of a killer wrap, too.

Both are beautiful, really like the double (sometimes a mishap turns into a super idea!)
