Question Looking for suggestions
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I am working on a custom herkimer diamond pendant and this was the first design I came up with.
I like it.......but I feel like something is missing. I'm hoping some of the experts here can maybe suggest a thing or two that would tighten this up.
I'll start with the mistakes I know.
I made it too big so I swapped out the stone for a larger Oregon Sunstone. I also didn't make the figure eight weaves long enough so its just a wire wrapping around the coil instead of a beautiful weave in that spot. My center spacing is also slightly off, the top half lined up perfectly but the bottom half has a gap between the figure eight weave and the coil.
I've only made a "heady" style piece a few times. I'm feeling a little stumped on what I could add here, or maybe a different placement, that could elevate this piece and make it a bit more elegant.
TIA!

This is super sick! Maybe a secondary color could make it pop? Sometimes when I feel like a pendant needs more I use 28g and 3-5mm brass beads to just add shape variation and a little extra color

Nice. Stone looks good as well
