would you share how you wrapped the Labradorite in the copper? I really like the way the finished piece looks, but not sure if there are several pieces of copper or just a couple wrapped around the main wire. Could you share what the back looks like?

I just want to say that I really LOVE your work. Copper is my favorite wire and I like seeing what you do with it.

From the photo of the unnamed stone, I’d guess it’s kambaba (a jasper). These are very pretty pendants! (I, too, wrap stones and teach the basics of it in my home.)

I’m so glad to see so many ways to wrap a stone. I have done a few in the past that I have been happy with. So many times I put off wrapping a stone thinking it won’t turn out well…it’s like I’m afraid to just jump in and get started. Thanks for the inspiration!

You are so talented, Zoraida! I love to see your beautiful work. Do you have any advice for wire wrapping a round beach stone for a bracelet?? A client asked me to wrap a stone for her teenage son to wear and I have been practicing with copper to no avail…my problem is how to get it to lay flat with a bail on each end that doesn’t overwhelm the stone. It is to be attached with leather cord. Thanks!

Love seeing your learning process, Zoraida. I’m a sucker for anything labradorite, but the yellow calcite pendants are quite nice.

Zoraida, I LOVE your unique wire wraps. They enhance the stones without smothering them, and it always feels very organic. Thank you so much for sharing these fantastic examples of wire pendants! 🙂

I think the rectangular stone at the bottom may be African Turquoise.
