I tried some silver beads and really liked it, so I did 2 more. Rhodonite in Argentium silver, with sterling silver beads. I realized the beads were sterling so I did the next one in Sterling silver, Rhodonite also. Then an Ocean Jasper in Sterling. I had fun with the bottom of this one. I tried to make it match the stone. Then this one without beads in Argentium. Whaqt do you think? Do you like the beads? Be honest. Amy

Amy, I LOVE the beads! Wish I had enough imagination to come up with designs like those. I kinda get stuck in a rut and my brain doesn't want to go anywhere else. I guess age could be a factor, huh? Those are gorgeous pendants. The beads add accent without detracting. Very, very nice. On the OJ, I think the way you did the beads complements the orbs in the stone very well. Tom

Those look great!! I think that I'd pick the first and third as my favorites out of these, not sure how you come up with these but I really like them

I really like the beads as well. I usually prefer "simple," but the way you added them does not overwhelm in the least. Very nice job!

Very nice wraps. My preference is the last one, I love the colors in the cab.

I like the beads because they are small but add tot he wrap without taking away from the stone, all your wraps are just gorgeous!

All are beautiful. The beads add a nice element to the wraps. I especially like how you put a bead at the end of the wire in the first wrap. I have yet to figure out how to do that so thanks for the example That bottom swirly on the OJ is cool and does compliment the design in the stone as do the beads. WTG Amy.

I am not a fan of beads but they seem to work here. I suspect that the next OJ you do, if you put it in gold with gold beads it would be amazing! I think the gold would really warm it up. I really like your last wrap too! Love the stone in it too! Fran

I also like the beads & I agree with Fran on the Ocean Jasper, gold would really warm it up & if not gold then brass.

Hmmm.. yes I can see what you mean by the gold on the OJ. That would look nice. However I don't have any gold beads and don't know where to get them, but suspect they would be expensive if I did. The next one I will do in gold without beads. Maybe that would look better.
