Description
My very first multiple stone wire wrap pendant!!!
I'm very happy with this one, although it took some time till I figured out how I wanted to make it. All in all, I learned a lot, pieces like this one are great teachers! 
Wire 0.8 and 0.4 mm, red & black glass "pebbles", red glass beads, single silvery leaf, and a lot of
Measures approx 3.5 x 1.5 cm (I forgot to measure it before I gave it away, it was a birthday present for a friend
)EDIT:
This is going to be my entry for *ArtisanCraft Mythology contest. My very first contest! Can you tell I'm excited?
Inspired by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, the timeless story of love (symbolized by red pebble) and loss (symbolized by black pebble)... (read more about Orpheus and Eurydice here: [link] )

It's one of my favorites, too, though I also like some really odd ones like lime green and cobalt blue.

Wow... that's just so.. its so complex! It's an amazing design, I love the stones you've picked out for it.
It's such a sad mythology, kinda gruesome at the end, but sad in general. Poor Orpheus.

thank you!
yes it is a sad story, but Orpheus did end up with his Eurydice in the end... after they killed him, his soul flew straight to Eurydices' arms

Oh and yeah, I love those two colors together too!
