Description I tried a few new things in this pendant. I decided that I would use silver wire with the botswana agate stone, giving a very monotone feel to the piece. To counteract the absence of colors, I added some beads to the frame of the pendant. You can't really tell from the photo, but I also tried a back-to-front bail - the small wrap around the neck comes from the end of the bail wires. The pendant is a little busier than I usually like, but I've already gotten one commission from it, so I won't complain

Wow The wrapping blends with the stone so it's very...yes, you used monotone, that works. You definitely have that feel. I like the swooping curve at the top.

pretty stone, lots of interest despite the lack of color. I share your concerns about the possible distraction from the embellishments, but like you, some of the pieces I questioned the most sold the fastest. The rest of the wrap is fabulous!

This stone was another of my dad's picks - I wouldn't have chosen it myself, but I'm glad he chose it!

Lol that's awesome! My dad recommends stones for me sometimes, but when he comes to the fair with me, he gets really bored xD
