Experiments with Wire Shapes

White Howlite Earrings
I’ve been experimenting with different wires lately and wonder why I’ve never played with square or half round before!

Snowflake Obsidian Earrings

Lapis Lazuli Earrings
They create a unique rich effect. I used half round on the obsidian earrings with the flat side showing.

Hematite Earrings
The hematite earrings were a mistake. I had a different plan in mind but simply tossing a couple of rings of heavy square wire above the beads added a cool orbital feel.
