Lori keeps telling me about her loupe, I didn't even know that's what they were called. I gotta get one, my collection of druzy rock and crystal specimens is still growing!

Beautiful pendant, I like the side picture where that loosely twisted wire is visible. How did you do that, by hammer? It looks so neat and even that I firstly thought it's a finished product and you bought it like that. The stones are very interesting, that seccond one is a beauty.

Randy get the loupe. You can go to a jewelry shop and they should be able to get one for you. You need to see what you are sending to others. lol
Adrian, it is two 22 g round wires that I twisted with my screw gun and then flattened with a ball peen hammer. I twist the wire relitively tight because when I hammer it, the wire spreads out and will give the effect that it was loosly twisted. Also as I hammer the length of wire, the whole thing tends to curl upwards so you have to straighten it out with rubbered flat pliers.
I think Randy sent me one of his best cabs. That sweetheart!

Lori! LORI!!! Hey!!!!(I had to shout because you must be on Cloud 9!) ;D That is astonishing! What an incredible wrap! The stone is grand, I love druzys too, but that wrap is just out of sight! Utterly glorious use of space and the decorative patterning is outstanding. You must have some "Celtic" ancestors Buddy, those twists and spirals are just perfect. I love it! You struck a new level SitnWrap, that is sublime! ;D Thanks so much for sharing it with us. I must have a play with my Loupe too! ;D Cheers, Sparkles.
