Simply Orange
About this design:
Orange Jade!!! Yum! I love this stone for its color and powers!!! I saw these sweet faceted beads and I knew I had to have them, so I bought them and made this:) As I said before I appreciate the challenge that wire wrapping allows me, also the patience it forces me to have! I am getting more comfortable with it now.
Components:
3mm faceted orange jade, sterling silver chain, sterling lobster clasp, and wire.Additional Images:

puppychick labratbecky says:You are funny! Your wire wraps look very good so whatever you are doing, it is working nicely! Love how this looks around your neck! Aren’t ankle bracelets fun?? I have one with white quartz and pewter jingle balls that I love to wear.
Can’t take credit for making it, though.
