Remember the tutorial on how to use large bail forming pliers? The design I showed as an example of how to use this great tool was not complete at the time. I actually didn't have the right sized sterling silver chain on hand. So I couldn't show the finished piece. Well, here it is finally complete and in my Etsy store! (This is a Life Collection piece where 100% of net proceeds will go to cancer research).
The faceted cubic zirconia was such an unusual shape and I have to admit it took me a while to come up with a design. Sometimes, designs come quickly. At other times, it pays to let your subconscious mull over possibilities.

Wow, this is a really amazing design. I love how the complexity of the wirework only heightens the focus on the cubic zirconia. Very beautiful!
