Octopus pendant with green sea glass and swarvoski crystals. And it has EIGHT legs, as it should.\012\015(Could not find original page)

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

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.

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.

Quartz crystal wrapped in a netted cage of brass rods. Could probably do the same with long beads on eye-pins. (original listing gone)

What I like about this is not just the nice swirls, but the way the jasper itself makes me think of Jupiter. Whether that was intended I don't know. (original page has vanished)

Elegant simplicity in the wire-work shows off the stone. Examining the wire-work more closely, I think the stone is a large bead with a vertical hole through it. (could not find original page)

Wire-wrapped Pendant around a bead. I like the idea of wrapping just the top of the bead and attaching the bead to the wire-frame through the bead-hole. (original vanished)

Hammered loop bent around the bead to capture it; it looks simple but elegant.

Wire bound around an oval bead to make a lovely glittery fish pendant. (original page gone)

Shows that (a) one doesn't have to be limited to one strand wrapping around and (b) one can wire-wrap long drop-pendants which have a hole at the top, even though they don't need wire-wrapping.

Wire-wrapped teardrop bead framed by asymmetrical swirls of wire. Lovely.

Caged beads wire-wrapped pendant.

Triangle/teardrop-shaped beads, caged in wire. Outer border in thick wire, which is all wrapped in thinner wire. The cage itself is an X made with three parallel thin wires for each arm of the X.

Brown-foil bead half-closed in wire embellished with beads and cogs. Cool. (original listing gone, link points to the page of the artist)

Various interesting works, but what I bookmarked this for was the copper and bead pendant, half-way down the page. Clean lines, nice and simple.

Spiral wire over the top of a donut, with beads on the edge. Cool. (original listing gone)

Simple yet elegant wire spiral + beads earrings.
