Emerald Ring

The only great thing that came out of me staying at home part of this summer is that I was able to focus on wire wrapping. This is an emerald facet (from Burma, bought in Chiang Mai) was wrapped in a ring! I love the deep green against the silver wire. Part of the ring was braided (pic 2 & 3), I found braiding with wire is a lot harder than wrapping but I am happy with the way the braiding turned out. I went with a simple, geometric and symmetric wrap because the facet is quite big and did not want to overwhelm the the facet. 

Sapphire Wrapped Ring

 This is a first for me, a sapphire facet (from Chiang Mai) wrapped and set in a ring. This was a hefty project, the wrapping had to be tight and small for it to not look, for the lack of a better word, tacky. Wrapped in silver, this colourless sapphire is brilliant in the sun, a great diamond lookalike. I would say this is a size 5 or 6. I have more sapphire facets available for pieces (see previous post "New Ideas"), feel free to contact me!

Gifted

 I made this necklace years ago as a gift for my grandma. I was finally able to take a couple of photos of it when we were both in Singapore. I do apologize for the poor lighting in the photos, I will retake them when I see my grandma next. This necklace has a wrapped amazonite pendant and clusters of wrapped Swarovski crystals in purple, magenta and emerald to name a few.
