Wow Simina, this is really perfect, awesome, gorgeous pendant, how do you make it??
Rita

Thank you, Rita! I am glad you like it! This is a basic 3 wire braiding technique, but I used 2 wire instead of each 1...:)

Gorgeous!

Gawjus, Simina!!!!!! It is amazing what a few tightly wound coils and imagination will allow you to create! I totally love how you 'hid' the wire for the center connector beads - very skillfully done!
Is the stone held in from the back by taking the braid down the bottom and attaching it, then cinching it at the top for the bail? Or did you cinch the top, then form the braid on the outside, attaching it to itself to create a groove for the stone, then make nice work of the ends? Or maybe something altogether different?
Enquiring minds want to know, LOL

Beautiful work, Simina!!!!

What a great job! how many years do you spend coiling? LOL, it is really elegant, the design so simple but simple most of time = elegant, those detalis too, very good finish and a lot of other things I don“t have enough English languaje to explain. gorgeous.

Simina, this is just yummy! It is so beautifully made and a delight to the eye.
Excellent work!

FANTABULOUS!!! MARVELOUS! BOLD! AWESOME!

Thank you so much!:)
Perri, for you to understand better, I will make a picture of the back of the pendant! At first, I wanted to do the back exactly how you suggested, but in the end I decided to do it a bit diferent, you will see how!
Thank you all for the nice comments, you are the best!!!!
