Chainmaille Bracelet Angel Byzantine by ChainmailleByBim on Etsy Three-sided Byzantine enclosed in larger rings. Cool.

Resin Tube Necklace with Red and White Baby's Breath. by SpottedDogAsheville What I like about this is that, in casting a tube for a pendant, you don't have to worry about drilling holes or glueing findings. It is also interesting and unconventional. The difficulty is to find a suitable mould.

Cool idea to fill in the spaces of a sea shell slice with resin and inclusions. Not sure I myself would use seashells as inclusions inside a seashell, though.

Cool fly (or bee) made from wire and beads.

Simple but elegant; large glass bead used as a focal for a leather and wire-wrapped necklace.

Moorish Rose, made with 18g 9/32_ ID rings from TRL. This is the unique (up to rotational symmetry) way to color Moorish Rose with 3 colors such that every _triangle_ has 1 ring of each color; and each _unit_ has 2 rings of each color, in the order 123123 (as opposed to 123132).

Maille and scale leaves, looking like Ivy or Maple leaves. Ingenious! Each leaf has two sizes of scale.

Pretty wire-woven bracelet with beads peeking out like peas in a pod.

Lucite flower Earrings Serenity Pure by whiteravendesignsau on Etsy. (Unfortunately, neither the listing nor the shop exist any more.) I like the elegant simplicity of this, bringing the disparate elements together to make something lovely.

Beautiful eyes, dragon eyes, steampunk-ish eyes; eye cabochons wrapped in elegant wirework.\015\012

I like the asymmetry of this, the way the twisted trunk looks all gnarled, the way the dark round beads look like green fruit peeping out between the leaves.

Chainmaille earrings by SilverLionJewelry It looks like graduated Full Persian 6 in 1; the way it is done does make it look like a pair of lamps, that's cool.

Polymer Clay Tentacle Pendant by TNTPatterns Cool idea: take a seashell, and make just the tentacles wrapped around it (in polymer clay) (one quibble: the octopus suckers would be grasping the shell, not showing on the outside)

Wire and bead ring. Interesting because the bead is attached with an eyepin and bead caps, rather than using the main wire threaded through the bead. This enables the main wire to be thicker and thus more sturdy.

Showing the design process for a wirework pendant (more of a wirework centrepiece, really) Cool.

Lampwork bead enclosed with chains to make it look like a hot air balloon. Cool idea for a pendant.

Ah. It never occurred to me that one could use a whale-tail pendant as the toggle part of a toggle clasp. It may only work with a leather or textile loop, since other loops might not be large enough or flexible enough, but it's still a nifty idea.

Blue glass marble and wire woven _snails_ jewellery. The link has a tutorial you can buy for 10 dollars, and more pics. I like the colors and ethereal effect, and if one isn't crazy about snails, one can think of them as seashells.

Cool way of wrapping a diamond-shaped stone (or a bead) so that the frame is a leaf and the _veins_ of the leaf are what cages the stone.

Beads strung on stiff wire, and then wrapped with wire in a spiral along the whole thing. Lovely. (original listing gone)
