More Wire Jewelry Projects by William

 Continuation with previous post, here are more wire wrapped jewelry pieces by William.

Wire wrapped horoscope pendants and bookmark for his friend's birthday.

Pendants with puau shells and gemstones.

A wire wrapped zipper pull with Black Onyx for his school bag.

William's first try of a wire wrapped tree of life pendant. Not very successful but he got the idea. 

Wire Jewelry - Freestyle Wire Wrapped Amethyst Pendant

Another asymmetrical wire wrapped pendant.
This was actually done right after the Agate Pendant earlier.
Yeah, I thought this one would be easier but I was wrong.
Similarly difficult and wasted more wires on this one.
Maybe I am not cut out for wire wrapping asymmetrical stones :( ???

Anyway, I hope you'd enjoy pictures of this wire wrapped pendant from different angles and can draw some inspirations from it.

While at it, Christmas is just around the corner.
For very very very late and last minute DIY gifts for that particular someone, check out these two quick projects you can whipped up in minutes (within 30 minutes the most).

Seahorse Pendant cum Pin/Brooch

After the first wire wrapped seahorse pendant last two days, I received a request for a similar one but with additional use as a pin/brooch. 

So, here is the seahorse pendant cum pin/brooch completed this evening. 

Stones: Tourmaline, garnet, swarovski crystal and Japanese sead beads. 

Wire: 19g for the frame and 28g for wrapping.

Length: Approx. 10cm

Yin & Yang Wire Wrapped Pendant

Today I got my hair cut really really short. Reason being, I am too lazy to manage long hair and I would rather spend more time with my wire jewelry :) While flipping through a magazine in the hair salon, I came across a Yin & Yang accessories. Ping! That immediately gave me an idea and once done with the hair, rushed home to get started with the project before the idea got dissolved or distracted. And the outcome is this Yin & Yang Pendant!. Wish I used more contrasting color for the black and white. Here, 4mm gray swarovski crystal is combined with white ones. Wondering what the three black ones are doing here?? Hehehe! I ran out of white and gray crystal. Actually there are some empty spaces that I should be filling up with more crystals but since this is sort of like an experimental piece, I leave it at that. It is about 1.5in in diameter. The best thing about this pendant is that I made it detachable. Wear or remove anytime I like provided it didn't fell off accidentally......LOL.

Gaga Over Green

This one takes longer than expected.

Or am I procrastinating? :)

Tend to do the easier ones first and for the last few weeks I have been busy with works.

For this piece, I spent a lot of time choosing,

un-choosing, matching and un-matching the green themed stones.

This is the final result and I am not even sure if this is the best match.

This necklace consists of several components. Here are two of them.
The green adventurine wire wrapped pendant and beads cluster consisting of various gemstones - peridot, jade, rutile quartz and green agate.

The main part, the heart shaped wire wrapped pendant, adorned with the various stones including peridot, cherry quartz and prehnite.

The chain part, wire wrapped gemstones including moonstones, green agate, jade, clear quartz, prehnite and Swarovski crystal for a bit of sparkle.

Wire Jewelry - Tree of Life Pendant

I said I will post more often.
But, my more often is not that often.

Another long overdue post here.
This Tree of Life Pendant (TOL) and bracelet is for our dearest primary school English teacher - Mona San Louis.

We have not seen her for like more than 30 years!
But she looks great and beautiful as ever.

I didn't attend the reunion but just managed to get this TOL pendant and bracelet on time, to attend on my behalf.

I don't remember ever making a TOL pendant before, so this is a first.
I used peridot, garnet and tourmaline.

Minlet with peridot to accompany the TOL pendant.

There are many tutorials (fee and paid) to make similar Tree of Life pendant online. Check them out here - https://goo.gl/DkqzlR
This should keep you busy browsing thru them.

Happy weekend.

Pearl Necklace and Pipa Pendant (Reverse)

My holiday didn't go to waste after all. I completed a necklace and pendant today. Fingers are better today. This checkered pearl necklace and pipa pendant (reverse usage) is made up of 107 pieces of pearls of various kind. There are the 5mm (white and blue), 6mm (blue), 8mm (white) and 12mm pearls coin (Blue/purplish). The length of the necklace is about 17 inches while the pendant measures 4 cm from top to bottom. The pendant is designed according to the Wired Chinese Knot, same as I used for this earring, introduced by Corra but used differently here.

Back view of the pendant here.

And the handcrafted hook. I like this one.

Wire Wrapped Pipa Center Piece, Swarovski Pendant and Earrings

These are William's recent wire wrapping projects.

They are birthday gifts for a friend.

I notice that he has a liking to natural colored stones.

If not mistaken, the stones are Picture Jasper.

The pipa center piece is for a bracelet.

Wire wrapped with 20g brass wire.

The earrings and pendant used 19g (thick!). 

Guess he wants them sturdy :)

Another Flora Pendant

Actually, this wire wrapped flora pendant was completed last weekend. However, I was busy the whole week that I didn't get around to posting it till almost another weekend again!
Stones are combination of Tourmaline, Cherry Quartz, Rose Quartz (Focal) and Czech Beads (Leaves).
This one is my favorite so far although I have wire wrapped similar one back in June.
Hammering was kept to minimum as the 19ga wire is already hard enough.

 

Weekend is just a few hours away so here is wishing you a wonderful floral weekend! :)

Still with Donut Pendant and Pipa Technique

Last night/ early this morning I completed this Donut Jade Pendant incorporating the Pipa technique into this otherwise boring Jade Donut Bead. The idea have been swimming around my head for about two weeks while I was wire wrapping the other two donut jade pendants. Somehow I can't figure out how to finish it off, especially on the bail part. So, this piece developed as I was making it and one lead to another and along the way I figured out how to finish off the bail. The jade donut measures about 2.3cm at its widest and the length of the pendant is about 3.5cm. The 10 beads surrounding the pipa knot are 4mm unakite and coral beads. There are another 8 of them at the backside of the pendant. I added one 6mm round swarovski crystal (AB) to the top of the pendant to give it a bit of shine/sparks. The Guess the number of rings contest was fun but was over a bit too soon :) The winner is Kathy. Kathy, if you are reading this, please email me with your choice of the ring.
