A Glimpse of My Opal Wire Wrap - Handmade Copper Jewelry - Work in Progress

I'm still practicing my wire working with copper as it's a bit more forgiving financially with mistakes. I intend to move to sterling silver and get some extra tools as well. Currently I'm only using a single pair of needle nose pliers. Getting a set of curved and round nose should tremendously help my flow.

I didn't have any design or stone in mind when I started this piece. I was experimenting with the coils around coils pattern for the first time and that ended up being a perfect size to be the base for this Australlian opal. It's been a fun freestyle.

I've never actually wrapped two stones into one pendant before, but this little herkimer diamond quartz just wanted to hop in as well. I feel like the clarity of the quartz brings out the opals flash.

Now I just need to secure the quartz a bit better and add a sturdy bail. But I will wait until the next creative spark to hit me first. I'll post the finished pendant in the future.
