Wrapped Cabochon Pendants

These semiprecious stone cabochons are wrapped in Half Persian 4-1 chainmaille settings. This is a beautiful and elegant weave, showing an intricate braided pattern from both the front and side. (See the side view toward the bottom of the page.) The maille is made with saw-cut rings for smooth closures and tumbled to bring out the natural shine of the metal. These pendants should be worn with sturdy chains, and will add a classy touch to any outfit.

The cabs measure 25x18mm (about 15/16" x 11/16"), and the finished pendants measure 1 1/8" x 7/8" (30x23mm) with a 3/16" (5mm) bail. Each pendant has a layer of clear epoxy on the back to hold it together securely.

Because some of these stones feature natural patterns that vary from piece to piece, multiple cabs are shown so that you can choose your favorite. An order code is given for each pendant; please include this in your email so I know which stone you would like.

This page features cabs wrapped in sterling silver and sterling with anodized niobium. Cabs wrapped in 14k gold-filled are found on Pendant Page 2.

Wrapped cab earrings are also available as special orders.
