Aunt Tala's Jade

My great Aunt Tala lived to be well over 100 years old. When I began making jewelry my grandmother gave me one of Aunt Tala's old necklaces: a strand of jade pearls. The necklace had been broken many years before and the stone had just been sitting in her jewelry box. I'm working on diving the stones into several pieces of jewelry so that each woman in my family can have one.

Here are 2 pieces I created this week using wire wrapping techniques I learned from
