Black stone wire-wrapped pendant

I'm fairly certain that this is jasper, but I'm not willing to bet on it.  It came from an assortment of mixed stones that I tumbled this summer.  I loved the matte finish, so I pulled it out & set it aside to wrap later.

I used sterling silver wire to wrap it, and I had to be very careful, because if I rubbed the wire against the stone it left a silver spot.  The finished pendant is about 2 inches long and weighs 0.2 oz.  I am not including a chain, but if you need one let me know & I can add one for about $14.

Bloodstone wire-wrapped pendant

This is one of the stones I tumbled and polished this summer.  It's bloodstone, and I wrapped it in sterling silver wire.  The back isn't as neat as I would like, but luckily it *is* the back and not the front.

Anyway.  The pendant is 2 inches long and weighs 0.5 oz.  No chain included, but if you need one let me know & I can add one for about $14.

Seraphinite wire-wrapped pendant

I adore seraphinite.  (I have seraphinite necklaces listed here and here.)  I bought this lovely little cabochon from the same guy who sold me the cappuccino jasper I used in my earlier pendant.

I wrapped the cabochon in sterling silver wire.  The finished pendant is about 1 1/2 inches long, and weighs 0.2 oz.  I am not including a chain, but if you need one let me know & I can add one for about $14.

Prehnite wire-wrapped pendant

Prehnite is one of my favorite stones.  I love the way it glows!  (I purchased this stone, but I'm happy to say that I've got a ton [not literally, just a bunch] of prehnite in my stash of stones that I polished this summer.  I will get to making pendants of it one of these days....)

I have prehnite earrings for sale here and here.

I wrapped this stone in sterling silver wire.  The pendant is about 2 inches long and weighs 0.6 oz.    I am not including a chain, but if you need one let me know & I can add one for about $14.

Arizona zebra jasper wire-wrapped pendant

I intended this to be a reversible pendant, but the frame on the back went a little crooked.  Oops.

This is a flat cabochon that I cut and polished from a slab of Arizona zebra jasper.  It's a good-looking stone, and it polishes up very well.  I wrapped it with sterling silver wire.

The pendant is about 1 3/4 inches long, and weighs 0.5 oz.  I am not including a chain, but if you need one let me know & I can add one for about $14.

Turritella agate wire-wrapped pendant

This is another one of my early cabochons.  I eventually learned to put a rough dome on the front, but these early ones are all flat.

The stone is turritella agate.  The little shells you see in the stone are fossilized sea snails.  Very cool!

I wrapped the stone in gold-filled wire.  The pendant is about 2 1/4 inches long, and weighs 0.6 oz.

White fire opal pendant

Fire opals are usually the color of fire (hence their name): red, orange, yellow.  This one is white, but it does have a yellow tint.

The opal is a faceted pear, measuring about 20x14mm with a weight of 9.67 carats.  I set it in sterling silver.

The finished pendant is about an inch long and weighs 0.1 oz.  I am not including a chain, but if you need one let me know & I can add one for about $14.

Boulder opal wire-wrapped pendant

I bought this cabochon because I loved the pattern.  It's boulder opal: streaks of opal in a surrounding matrix.  It does have a couple of pits on the front, but is otherwise smooth.

The cabochon measures about 32x25x5mm, weighing 36 carats.  I wrapped it with gold-filled wire.  The finished pendant is about 2 inches long, and weighs 0.4 oz.

Blue opal wire-wrapped pendant

I bought this cabochon from a fellow in Australia.  The surface is a little rugged, which I think adds to its charm.  I wrapped it in sterling silver wire.

The finished pendant is just under 2 inches long, and weighs 0.3 oz.  I am not including a chain, but if you need one let me know & I can add one for about $14.

Abalone wire-wrapped pendant

Here's another ginormous pendant.  It's an abalone shell which has been glued together and coated to make it smooth.  I wrapped it with sterling silver wire.  The pendant is 2 5/8 inches long, and weighs 0.4 oz.

I am not including a chain, but if you need one let me know & I can add one for about $14.
