Beautiful wrapped stone pendant; swirls and swoops which are slightly off-centre which makes it dynamic; border all around the outside holds two jump-rings for the chain to attach to, so that the pendant will sit properly and not twist around.

Goldstone and copper wire and copper beads, all go so well together. Wire and beads cover only half the donut, giving some interesting a-symmetry and negative space. Also, the beads are not on every turn of the wire, only every third turn, again avoiding uniformity.

A _GoGo_ donut with three strands of square wire coming up through the hole and swirling in a loop and vanishing again. Pretty cool.

Fantasie pendant, cool idea: rather than just wrap wire or do crochet around a central stone, why not bead around it? Not sure why that never occurred to me.

Copper pendant with beads, hammered wire, twisted wire, and a lovely basketweave sort of effect. Unusual because of the weave, and because there are three layers of wire before you get to the beads.

Interesting idea: rather than do hyperbolic crochet around a tiny crochet circle, do it as a half-circle on a wooden ring. That way you get to see all the curves of it. (I would choose a different colour-scheme than this one, though)

Oooh, now that is cool. Rather than an oval or circle, this is a bowed rectangle, made by four slightly curved hammered wires together. And then the inside of the area is filled with pearls and swirls.\015\012

Straight column of beads, with one wire curling around them in a corkscrew fashion. Simple but effective.

Wire-wrapped pendant, with silver beads forming the centre and points of an asymetrical flower. Cool. (I'm not sure where the original came from, this was posted on a forum)

Caged Aventurine ball, cage made up of S-shaped swirls and round rings bound together. Pretty. (original page gone)

Circles within circles. I wouldn't really think of this as a kaleidoscope image, but it is fascinating to look at. (original listing is gone, linking to artist)

_This necklace is made from a large washer and a clipping from a vintage road map. Necklace is finished with several layers of clear varnish in a satin finish._ One could make something similar using maps from old out-of-date travel guides.

Oval cabochons (or beads?) turned into turtles with bead netting and extra beads for the legs and head. Cute.

Noted for the fourth example on the page: a square-spiral-fractal pendant. Really cool.

Fascinating double-swirled wirework pendant, like a cross between a Celtic knot and intertwined teardrops.

Christmas-tree pendant, hammered wire and beads; cool idea.

Hammered twisted wire-work.

This artist achieved the spirograph effect by wrapping the wire around a circle which was made of twisted hammered wire, thus providing tiny notches for the thin wire to slip into.

Uses moon and stars beads to make a celestial night themed tree-of-life pendant.

Byzantine wrapped around a large ring. Cool idea for a pendant.
