Hello, everyone! Here are the three pendants I've made today. The Poppy Jasper is from Steve - Rocklicker. The Opal and the Chrisoprase are from Zoran. Thank you both again, my friends! Here are the pics, firstly a group shot and then some close-ups: Thank you for looking, Adrian

Hey, Adrian... I really like how you are bring the hammered wire around on to the face of the cabs now. That is a great look! I'm working on my first Adrian/groove cab now! Tony

It's a toss up between the Poppy and the Opal for me. Great design with the wire on the Poppy and I also love the shape of the Opal.

Adrian-these just keep getting better and better! I love the hammer wire-looks great. I tried one of these the other day-but I just tried using my little trim saw to make the groove, but the blade is too thin and I couldn't keep it straight all around.

I love the opal, I like the little swirl on the front, it is just enough to add some interest without detracting from the stone. Neat. All of them are lovely.

I go with the Opal also but heck they are great. I go with all of them. The wire work is very clean and neat. Jason

Thanks a lot everyone! I have to be honest, the swirl on the round poppy cab is because it is hiding a small chip on its contour. It was the only way to keep the round shape of the cab. I'm glad you like it. Usually I don't use such wire work 'cause I'm affraid I'd be tempted by the time to use it more and more, hiding more and more of the stone and I wouldn't want it to happen.

Adrian you have really perfected that groove wrap method. These look great and I like the hammered curl on the poppy jasper.

That groove method really lets the stones shine. Wonderful work as always. I think I'll give it a try....cross your fingers I don't wreck my new trim saw blade!!! :-}
