Hello,

Here is an intarsia pendant I just finished - the center piece is Willow Creek jasper (I think) and the frame is jade.









Thank you for looking,

Adrian

Adrian, very elegant. How do you get the wire to stay on the inside curve?

Daniel, I bend the wire which is going to fit in the concave side of the cab, with a tighter curvature than the inside curvature of the stone. This way it stays in its place. Hope it makes sense , if not I'll add a drawing.

Thank you everyone,

Adrian
