Strawberry Crystal Pendant Sculpture + Cross Pendants 11/27/07

Good morning! Today I'm sharing a strawberry pendant and 4 cross pendants.

EMAIL ME to acquire any of the jewels shown. All prices include shipping. Click on the photos to see larger versions!

The first jewel shown is a strawberry pendant. This started off with me sitting down to play with wire and red beads. Soon it took the shape of a strawberry, all on its own! I added green crystal beads to simulate the leaves and a few freshwater pearls, giving this pendant the name "Strawberry & Cream". Made from brass wire, ruby red crystal beads, emerald green crystal beads and freshwater pearls, this is a one of a kind sculptured pendant. The bail is below the edge on the back, making it hang as shown when wearing. By placing the bail there, the pendant will not swivel --> it will always show the front side when wearing. The pendant measures 1 1/2" in size and the bail will hold a 2mm cord, neckwire, or chain. The pendant price is $45. The cord shown is for demonstration purposes only and is a 2mm cord. If you would like me to make you a custom length black rubber cord necklace with a magnetic clasp, I will do so for an extra $10.


The first cross pendant shown here is the first one I've created using sterling silver wire. "Emerald Ice" is the name of this unique cross, as the pendant features emerald green crystal beads and clear crystal beads on the sterling frame. The pendant measures 2" x 1 1/4" in size and the bail will hold a 3mm or smaller chain, cord or wire. The price of this pendant is $35.



This next cross pendant is titled "Potter's Delight" and features genuine green/blue/brown genuine pottery beads, as well as some unique mottled faux pearls in a gold/green coloring, all on a brass wire frame. The bail will hold a cord, chain or neckwire 3mm or smaller in diameter. The pendant measures 2" x 2 1/2" in size and is $30.


Next up is a cross pendant titled "Simply Sapphire". A brass wire frame hosts Czech sapphire blue crystals and gold plated corrugated beads, for a very striking look! This sharp pendant measures 1 1/4" x 2" in size and the bail will hold a cord, neckwire or chain 3mm or smaller in diameter. The price of this unique pendant is $25.


And finally we have this tiny, earthy jewel. Titled "Red Jade", it is made with tiny red jade gemstone beads on a brass wire frame. The bail will hold a cord, chain or neckwire 3mm or smaller. This little gem measures a mere 3/4" x 1 1/2" in size. The price of this pendant is $20.


EMAIL ME to acquire any of the jewels shown. All prices include shipping.

Currently on the work bench is another wire sculptured design I've been allowing to develop itself, as I did the strawberry pendant. This new design is looking like it's taking the shape of a poodle! So we'll see what comes out of that one!

InJoy, Jai
