Description

Hey guys! Half day at school today so I have the time to upload this. Luckily I'm done with homework haha. I created this piece last night but I didn't have time to submit it, so here you go! Enjoy! :D

Well I realized I haven't wrapped an ammonite in so long. Long enough for my style and technique to change. (My last ammonite: [link] ) I got this at a gem faire a few months ago, perhaps around June. I like the texture of the ammonite here, the colors of it are pretty too, though my camera doesn't capture them well, but I tried the best I could. I feel like this piece was a success. :D So I'm happy.

I like ammonite, it's like a little piece of history you can wrap and wear. It's beautiful and each is unique, something I really value. This is wrapped in goldfilled wire. It got it's name from it's possible origins- perhaps it was swept away by ocean currents and was later found by people...?

This piece measures nearly 2" with bail, and is wrapped in goldfilled. Sadly I only have a 7.5" piece of wire left, so no new creations soon. Sorry. :(

Thanks for looking! :D
