How your Majesty was built
My latest entry at the gallery is a necklace I called Your Majesty the Queen, because it looks simply rega to me. However, the construction of the piece was not too difficult -- just VERY time consuming.
The pendant was constructed almost exactly as the Gold and Purple Flower Pendant. The only difference is the center: instead of a cluster of beads in the very center, I added a bead cap and rondelle. The tutorial for this pendant can be foun here: Gold and Purple Flower Pendant Tutorial.
The neckpiece is a modified version of the Coiled Bangle. Instead of one small bead place at the in-betweens, I added two small bead caps, back to back. This made them flare out. I also eliminated any beads on the edges of the coiled frame and added some bead caps over the rubies. To make the neckpiece curved, I shaped it as I was working (not after completing it). A tutorial on how to make the bangle can be found here: Coiled Bangle tutorial.
What makes this piece so great is the sheer amount of precious materials used in it, and also the time it took to build. A VERY long time... :-)

Eni, I've been away from wirewrapping for so long. Today I came into your website to see what you are doing. As usual, your work is so inspiring.
Eni, it's stunning! I'd want to frame it in a twirly gold frame and hang it on the wall!
That pendant is my favourite of your tutorials so far, and looks wonderful in a more ornate setting.

My dear Eni!
I am truly astounded by your incredible generosity in sharing your marvelous trade secrets. Many artists would never think of doing so. Your pieces are superlative in design and almost bring tears to the eyes just looking at them. How lovely! Thank you, and I'm putting your book on the top of my Christmas "wish list" this year.
