The top pendant was a simple coiled piece of copper I had hammered accents on. I decided to get creative by adding a round bead to the center. I threaded the stone with wire, wrapped it, coiled the ends and tucked it under. I did something similar with the bale. This seemed to add a lot of interest to the metal by connecting various pieces of metal without heat.
The second pendant also features labradorite that has been wrapped into a bale. I used the same bead plus some Czech glass beads at the bottom.
The bottom pendant is copper and I had milled a laurel leaf onto it. I bent the milled stem section of the leaf back to form a bale. I made a wire wrapped bead for an accent and used a nice fluorite for the dangle. These all started out as simple ideas and the little accents added layers of interest.
