my Sis had her birthday in early October a week after I got hurt. I had the earrings done already but finally got motivated to finish the pendant. She had been asking for a light blue pendant for a while - originally we were thinking Larimar but the expensive piece I bought at Quartzsite this year ended up crumbling in my hands

- anyway I came across this Mojave blue - turquoise processed with zinc. The shiny zinc looks fantastic with the bright sterling.

Secondly, her husband loves the look of tiger iron and has been asking for a pendant for a while. His birthday was a few days ago and we'll see them both tomorrow for Thanksgiving. Copper wire with an added heavy patina.

Thanks for looking! Don't look too closely or judge too harshly my flaws galore haha.

That set is gorgeous! Your binding is so good that it adds to the piece like another element. I like the tiger iron too- much more manly. They're gonna love them!

Wow they are both amazing and not only do you have outstanding skills, the cabs are beautyfull and the wrapping really nice, but you also have a really great taste. In my mind a wrapped necklace for a man would be a big No Go, but this piece really works and looks just perfect. Wish I was on your birthday-list😄

I think the turquoise could be worn by either sex, 'cept the ear-rings maybe

The Tiger Iron looks absolutely great! Far more interesting than the average Tiger Iron cab and the metal matches great. The leather necklace also matches and looks so rugged while still being attractive. All in all it is one of the most masculine pieces I have seen while still being very well crafted.
