Golden Labradorite Pendant In 925 Sterling Silver Wire
I have just wrapped one of the golden Labradorite cabochons shown in a recent post, it took a while to determine the correct location of the bail to capture and display the Labradoresence to best effect. This is largest free form cabochon I have ever wrapped and although challenging it was very satisfying in the end.
This piece is especially attractive because it also has the really interesting deep black vein which is surround by deep blues, all framed by the lovely golden colour. Depending on the angle that the pendant is viewed from, a different pattern will be seen.
The pendant used 110” of sterling silver wire, all 21 gauge. The main support wires are made from square wire and the binding is made from ½ round wire.
The pendant dimensions are:
Height (including bail) as it hangs: 56mm
Width: 59mm
Thickness: 10mm
Weight: 32 grams or 158 ct

Thanks for showing off a close up of your work. This is a really nice piece of jewelry! I envy those of you who make wire wrapping look so effortlessly done! 🙂
Hi, thank you, this is my prefered style of wrapping, keeping it simple so that it doesn’t take the eye away from the stone. I now have another 14 Labradorite cabs to wrap as soon as I get time.
Best regards

Dave, this is the perfect example of how a simple (but beautiful) wire wrap can be. That stone doesn’t need anything extra around it as it is stunning.
Hi, glad you found it useful.
