Woven Wire Abalone Pendant

Click on photo to magnify. There are almost endless fascinating possibilities of weave patterns, shapes, sizes, and inclusions when sculpting wire into wearable art! The patterns are expertly woven & the carefully sculpted into intricate designs, often in stages. Abalone shells are mesmerizing with their iridescent swirls of blue, green, pink, and purple. They are said to promote emotional healing & calmness. Here I've woven the frame of silver filled wire (much more silver than plating) and match the colors with lovely crystals*. 2 1/2 X 1" on an 18" silver plated chain. *Embellished with Crystals by Swarovski® - the 'creme de la creme' of manmade crystals
