Description This was an experiment with a slightly different style of wire wrapping. I picked a beautiful labradorite stone that I was having trouble imagining in a conventional wrap. This has two bail loops, which means that standard necklaces won't integrate with the pendant as well.

The labradorite also lights up in different areas depending on the angle, so I have several photos on etsy showing the full range of color. The wire is Argentium silver, a tarnish resistant type of sterling silver.

Fabulous idea! I also prefer using naturally shaped stones rather than cabochons because they choose their own wrapping design and it's always fun to see what happens. Your design is genius on this one. Labradorite is one of my favorite stones - it's hard to capture the "flash" in a photo but it looks like this one has a nice one.

Thanks! I like more custom-cut stones too, rather than wrapping a kajillion ovals over and over.

Where do you find all these stones?

there are occasionally gem and mineral shows around, and there is one particular lapidary fellow who finds and cuts amazing stuff (and trains other people, so he has a huge supply). i get pretty much all of my stones from him, though i get some high-end stuff from other people too.

Woah, I have none of that where i live then again i have no idea how to wire wrap so it would be of no use to me anyway.....

Thats quite nice. Tasteful.
Unlike most of the jewlery I see on this site.
Its not to much, just enough.
Well done.

Tasteful is my aim I try to let the stones show themselves off in my pieces.
