I like the way this has simple curves and twirls. (original page has vanished)

Labradorite wire-work pendant.

More of a pendant than a necklace. But what a cool way of using tiny scales!,

Why did I never think of this before? Nifty idea - making a gemstone-chip tree-of-life and putting an owl (or other bird) in the branches.,

Five-ring mobius bound within a larger ring. Cool. (Original picture is no longer on the site)

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

I've never seen rubber maille rings used so prettily. I like this! (could not track down the page, link points to artist's blog)

Maille pendant done with Cloud-Cover/Four-Winds units, with a large Mobius in the middle, and the whole thing held rigid by attaching to a large outer ring. Pretty cool. But you'd need to have exactly the right ring sizes in order for the tension to be held properly.

Celtic Triskele copper wire wrapped pendant by GypsyMoonArt (original listing is gone)\012A different method of making a triskele; three hammered spirals bound together.

What I like about this is the way that it uses heart-shaped beads for the leaves of the shamrock.

Wire wrapped pendant with beads. The interesting part in the middle seems to be made from shaping two wire ends into paddles and then lashing them to another wire which goes between them.
