Wire-wrapped Rose Quartz (?) Cabochon with Pearly Bead Spray

Inspiration

My original inspiration was something more similar to my final product, but I couldn't find it again.

Materials

  • Cabochon
  • 20 gauge wire
  • 22 gauge wire
  • Wire cutters
  • Smooth (toothless), needle-nose jewelry pliers 
  • Masking tape

Notes

This is my third wire wrapping.  I did this one without much of a pattern other than what remained in my memory.
