Rose Quartz Remembrance
About this design:
I bought a grab bag of cabochons to practice wire wrapping with, and this piece had a broken corner, so I figured it was perfect for practice. This is my 2nd piece, the first being the wire-wrapped antler button. After several months of wearing it on a simple chain, I felt it just didn't showcase the beautiful color, so I made a beaded necklace for it. I want to make some earrings, but we're in the middle of a house remodel and move, so that may have to wait.
Components:
Rose Quartz, Stainless Steel Wire, Glass Pearls, Czech Seed Beads, Pewter ClaspAdditional Images:
