Blue Rivoli Pendant

Emma — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:11:47 +0000

My aunt-in-law asked me to make three rivoli pendants for her to give as gifts. This is last one. I tried a different bezel this time from Cathy’s Beadwork, which has a netted back. I added the crystals differently than in the pattern as I didn’t have that many. The necklace part is a spiral herringbone rope four beads around.

Some more wirework

The first three pendants are from tutorials by Jenny Pong. On the first one there is a tiny tiny Swarovski butterfly - 5mm (I didn’t realise when I ordered it how small it was!). I haven’t finished the necklace for the third pendant yet, it goes on the end of a lariat.

The next is from a tutorial by Eni Oken, using rose quartz, amethyst, fluorite and clear quartz beads.

The next three I was practicing making wire cages for cabachons, beads and marbles using instructions from All Wired Up by Mark Lareau. Obviously I need more practice! The cab is rhodonite.

And this is a ‘cocktail’ ring I made from a tutorial by Linda Rosa.

Wirework creatures

The bee and dragonfly pendants are from tutorials by JewlieBeads.

And I tried some spiderweb pendants. The tutorial used to be on Jewelry at Bellaonline but seems to have disappeared.
