Beautiful job on both of them! My favorite is the first one, I like very much the chaotic look of the curls in the top. The back of both of the pendants are also very neat.
As a sugestion, I think your beautiful wraps deserve a half round binding wire, I noticed that enhances the overall look pretty much.

The second wrap is my favorite, it remeinds me of some work that Banjocreek does. That's an awesome design!!

Nice wraps Jo,
I love seeing your wraps, you have such a stylish flourish with those wires, it's always so pleasing to the eye. I particularly enjoyed seeing the Citrine, I love those stones and you made such a beautiful job of the wrap, asymmetric cabs are nice to look at, but often seem a little "un-comfortable" in their wrappings, you made this one look just right! The whizzy whirly embellishment around the bail has a fun feel to it, and contrasts nicely with the regular crackles in the stone.
Green Moonstone is a new one to me, although I know you collect it somewhere locally. Most of my Moonstone comes from India and is either grey, transparent or brown. Your wrap and cab are lovely, and the use of space around the bail is amazing. I love the variation between twisted and natural wires, and your sweeping curvey loops bring my eye back to that alluring stone time and time again. Brilliant work Jo! It's always a treat to see your work. Thanks for sharing them with us!
Cheers,
Sparkles.

Great job Jo! I like the second one best.
The only suggestion I would have is the same as what Adrian said......half round for the binding wires. They make for a nice tight smooth effect on your wraps.

Thanks Kayla, Shannon and Amber- thank you. I would like to have the bindings tighter and more uniform, as the half round may help, and as I look at it, I think I will pay more attention to the angle that I cut the ends and be consistent with my end curls (totally closed or a little open, shape of curl). Randy already nicely scolded me for reusing some binding wire in one spot... Ugh, I do not like to be wasteful. LOL) Jo

Both are wonderful and my favorite is the second as it makes me think of an elegant 3 strand necklace. You have been busy. Keep at it, I want to see more.
