Here's one Robin wrapped sitting at our show in 2014. Second year we had done a "real" show, and it was a bit slow.
She says "It's not her favorite." but I like it.
She wanted to sell it at the show, but I talked her into keeping it... .

It looks like something that would have been made for a style that was hip 100 years ago. (That's a compliment lol) I like it too. |

hummingbirdstones That's really nice! Love the stone, too. Now, smack DH for not polishing it before he shared it with everyone. LOL! (JK- it still looks good.)

It's been sitting in my jewelry box because I don't wear it often. I'm not a fan of those coils, so until I decide to rip it apart and redo it with something I like better, it's back in the box.  |

I think it looks nice. It's nice to see an example of coils after not seeing them for awhile. There was a time when I was sick of seeing them. |

It’s really nice, and great material, but I just gotta say wow, that thing is huge, I definitely need to bump my cab sizes up.

rockjunquie. AS IF Robin would let me polish any of her jewelry! I'm still an ironworker at heart.
On second thought, she might let me have a go at this one - since she mentioned "ripping it apart" already.

Thanks, Nate! It would look better polished up.

I saw this thread, but was thinking it was the "for sale" thread, so I didn't open it up...I didn't want to drool over the pics of rough I wasn't getting! LOL hummingbirdstones - Robin, this is a fantastic looking pendant! That St. Johns really is gorgeous material. And that wrap is stunning! I like it just the way it is...but I'm sure I'd love the "redo" too! LOL - It just looks so "sleek"!  |

Weaves are inherently more busy. BTW, that is a free form I cut out of a small piece.  |

I really like it, too! The wrap showcases the cab perfectly! If you do decide to redo it, don't forget the picture, please... |

The silver looks "flat" (not polished) which works really well with the stone. The woven bail is a nice touch as well!
