Wire Wrapped Copper and Brass Labradorite Pendant

Just finished up this simple piece today. Wire wrapping was done in copper with a little bit of brass. And of course I antiqued the metal and polished it up. Stone in the middle is labradorite.
Labradorite is a beautiful mineral that can first appear plain and dull. By letting the light hit it at a different angles Labradorite can produce a colorful play of light across cleavage planes and in sliced sections called labradorescence. The usually intense colors range from the typical blues and violets through greens, yellows and oranges.

At this angle the labradorite looks like it has shooting stars or meteors across the surface of the gemstone.

Copper & Brass Wire Wrapped Shark Tooth Pendant

I created this wire wrap with copper and a small amount of brass. The cabochon in the middle contains a fossilized shark tooth and sand from the beach. The wire wrap was oxidized and polished to a shiny luster. This picture was taken on a himalayan pink salt crystal for the background.
