About this design:
This pendant was created for the Creative Wire Jewelry forum's Year of Jewelry. The theme for the week was the movie Corpse Bride. I thought the stormy colors in this beautiful blue pearl cabochon fit the theme well. The bezel was done in Viking knit and embellished with tiny coils and 2mm beads.
Components:
Blue Pearl, sterling silverAdditional Images:
