I make some pretty interesting things with wire and gemstones. Here is my last piece, "White Walker".

Wow! That's incredibly intricate. Do you bend all of the little...threads?

Yes. This is 100% handmade with nothing more than sterling silver wire, gemstones, and some pliers.

I finished up this pendent a few days ago. It took around 10 or 11 hours to complete. The large center stone is an aquamarine crystal. Accent stones are 2x aquamarine, 2x Swiss blue topaz, 2x London blue topaz, and 2x kyanite.

Oh that's right you posted some macro shots. I was going to ask where I could see them zoomed out.
That looks great. The silver gives it a really nice color.

I have a lot of pictures of my pieces on instagram @robertallenjewelry
I also have a website. I will PM you that as well.

Thanks! Just took a look at the website and those serpent rings are really cool.
Now I wonder if my grandmother would appreciate the Venus pendant (tbh, the answer is yes).

Those serpent rings have been very popular. That Venus pendant was one of the first 4 or 5 pieces I made. I would be happy to let it go though, and would cut you a discount over the posted price if you are interested.

Thank you! I really like this one too. Someone messaged me on facebook about buying it though, so I may not have it around to stare at much longer.
