This is a new wrapping method that I am working on. The pendant is a wavy cut 40 mm Bronzite pendant. Gold-filled and sterling silver wire wrap the outer edge then curl, ripple, and wave over the stone. Including the bail, the pendant comes out right at 2 1/4" long. The Bronzite has such great shades of brown that even move into gold tones. I realize this picture has a good bit of glare from the wire and even the stone, but I really wanted to show the depth and color variations in the Bronzite. I can't do it justice with a photograph, but you get the idea.I recently learned that Bronzite is said to ward off ill wishes others have for you. Not only that, but it is said to return it three fold to the sender. . . I thought that was fascinating, and know I'm thinking of making LOTS of Bronzite pieces!
