Peridot Feathers

Netted copper feathers. The pendant was made out of a leftover frame from the mixed metal "Endless Road" necklace (made to order). It's quite long, but it looks just perfect on a long copper chain.

Caramel Swirls

Some weeks ago, while walking on Mandell Street to the Rice Gym for a swim, I got an idea for an asymmetrical spiral pendant... and I'm struggling with the execution ever since.

I haven't been able to come up with a solution to this problem: I can't seem to make the little spirals "off-kilter" enough, they always end up near the center, making the asymmetry look accidental, when I'm aiming for a more deliberate asymmetrical look.

Fortunately though, while trying to figure out this problem, I "happened upon"  two really nice designs (named both of them "Caramel Swirl").
 
The first is a basic, almost classic Nautilus, while the second design evolved almost naturally from the first: two double nautiluses linked together to form the centerpiece of a choker necklace. This is my new absolute favorite piece! I liked it so much I even used it for my blog's banner. And I think it's going to be my online shop's banner, too, whenever I 'll have one.

Coiled

A couple of years ago, when I was still experimenting with different types of jewelry making techniques, trying to find the one that would suit me best, I made several coiled earrings and earring/pendant sets, as a way of perfecting my wire wrapping skills.

I'm posting the designs here, as I'm thinking of revisiting the technique sometime in the future, and I want to have the old ones at hand, for comparison.

Here's a montage of my coiled designs, all shapes and forms:
