I made these necklaces with obsidian. I hope you like them. 🖤
Sylvan Soul- Aurora Opal Pendant ✨ Materials: Aurora Opal (lab-grown); prehnite, grasular and steel beads; metal: nickel silver.✨ Creation time: 7 hours of handcrafted work ✨
To date, everything I’ve been learning to make has been larger, more complex pieces which are fine but it’s not everyone’s taste. So I’m trying to learn how to make smaller, more minimalist pieces. Which oddly enough is far more technically challenging for me than heady pieces. Weird. 😆
Wings of Intuition__Labradorite Pendant ✨ Materials: Labradorite, hematite and steel beads, nickel silver metal. ✨ Pendant size: 5,5 × 5,5 cm (2.17 × 2.17 inches) ✨ Weight: 37 g (1.30 oz) ✨Available
Finished this goofy l’il weirdo this morning on account of being up since 3am thanks to the nutjobs setting off fireworks nonstop from 2-4:30am. 🫠
Pendent for a friend's birthday
This one was a quick and easy make but my friend's favorite stones are malachite and labradorite so I wrapped a simple design using these two cabs I've had for some time
Started my attempt at wrapping tonight.
Got a spool of 20g at the store and decided to try and attempt wrapping some random stones and stuff i had lying around. The ring is a shark tooth i found at the beach so that was pretty cool. As you can see i basically just free handed everything, if you like a chaotic freehand look then this might look halfway decent. The last pendant with the bismuth in the middle is extreme but i have to admit i love it. I look forward to learning more.
Which pendant should I make next? Gemstone: Garnet
I made this pendant three years ago, and I can barely believe it’s mine. I must’ve been in a completely different mood back then. It feels so different from the style I have now.
Love working with wire
This is one of my first wire wrapped pendants. Thought it appropriate to show for our 250 Celebration. Hope you like it :)

Wire bouncing back into shape after bending
I'n trying wire wrapping again and I'm struggling with the same problem I had last time. When I try to bend my wire into a circle it just bounces back and doesn't form a full circle. Is this due to poor quality wire? I'm using silver plated 1mm wire which probably isn't the best. It feels like I have to overbend it to get it to bend the way I need it to and actually stay that way.
I made these verdant moon pendants inspired by the first hints of spring. Hope you like them.
Day 3 of wrapping until I work for myself.....
I went back to some basics tonight to help get the muscle memory flowing and man do I love this one!
This is a size 6.5 with a raw sunstone, naturally sand polished by the wind of the Oregon Outback, wrapped in copper.
I call this a floating setting. It allows you to view the stone from all sides while keeping it tightly in place.
Is there any way i can stop this pendant from turning my skin green?
I got this pendant from someone at a market who claims to make the pendants all himself, and promised me it wouldnt turn me green and gave me some explanation that i unfortunately dont remember. But as i should have expected, it does turn me quite green lol. Im pretty sure he just drop ships and resells them, i looked them up when i got home and saw very similar ones available for cheap online. But i absolutely adore this piece of labradorite, and i never buy jewelry for myself because money is super tight so id love to be able to wear it. It sits right between my cleavage and i have sensitive skin there so i really cant wear it as is, it makes my skin flare up. is there anything i can do?
