I’ve been calling this piece the Dragon’s Eye since I started the first weave, but it didn't really "come alive" until I got it into the light and saw that deep purple hit. I went with a really tight, detailed weave for the lids to make sure the stone felt like it was actually looking out at you. It’s definitely one of the more intense projects I’ve tackled lately!

Height: 5.5 cm (2.2 in) | Width: 6 cm (2.4 in) | Weight: 58 g (2.05 oz)

The labradorite is stunning and I caught the light just right in this picture in my garden. I just think it looks a bit messy but it kinda reminds me of Medusa. Actually, I might just call it Medusa Reflection. What do you think?

With Fairies Dream I wanted to try something a bit more whimsical with this. It features an oval labradorite with a really strong gold and blue flash, but I’ve framed it with tiny colourful agate roses to give it a garden feel. It's actually part of a set that includes the main pendant, a matching wire-wrapped bracelet and a pair of rose earrings to pull it all together. It took a lot of fiddly work at the bench to get the copper swirls to hold the charms just right but I love how the bright colours play against the warmth of the copper. If you wish to see the set the link to my shop is in my bio at bent copper.

I have been sitting on this photo for a few days now but I really wanted to share this one here. It is a teardrop labradorite named Oracle’s Glance because of the way the blue and green flash catches the light.

It takes a lot of patience at the bench to get these intricate copper wraps right. It has a lovely weight to it at 49g and the way the beads and swirls frame the stone is just brilliant to see in person. I am really happy with how it turned out.

I do have a shop but I'm not prepared to share it unless anyone is interested.
