Sparkly Bracelet

Sorry the picture taken is not as clear as I wanted it to be due to the background and crystal colors, but here's another sparkly pretty made today. This piece goes together with the sparkly necklace and pendant I made few days ago as shown in the previous post. wire wrapped sparkly necklace and pendant

Sparkly Pendant and Necklace

wire wrapped sparkly Swarovski crystal necklace and a matching pendant close up of the sparkly Swarovski crystal pendantToday's project is a very sparkly Swarovski crystal necklace and a matching pendant. The focal for the pendant measures about 1.2cm across , yeah its a big crystal surrounded by two 6mm round crystals and four 4mm bicone crystals. The necklace measures about 20 inches in length consisting of 30 pieces 6mm donut Swarovski Crystal and gold filled metal beads, 60 of them. If the pendant and crystals look familiar, this design is actually based on my sparkly ring design and also a pair of earrings I made earlier using the same wire wrapping.

NEW: Step by Step Tutorial for Wire Wrap Donut Pendant

Update Aug 2020 - This tutorial is no longer available in my shop.

I am very happy to announce that I have released my second tutorial just a moment ago. This step by step tutorial is for wire wrapping a donut pendant - floral motive. Although I mentioned that the project is for intermediate level, if you are a beginner, you will find out that with the clear pictorial instructions, it is not difficult to follow at all. This tutorial is now available at my Etsy Shop - WireBliss and here as well.

Saturday Projects

Made these few pieces today. Still with ring and earrings. The ring is made for myself. This is the first time I use Cherry Quartz and I love the color. Refreshing and feminine. The earring is a commissioned piece, a proud owner of the same designed sparkly pearl ring. wire wrapped fruity ring with Cherry Quartzwire wrapped pearl earrings Finally, a wire name for "WireBliss". Need to do something with it later. Hopefully it works.
