rocks wrapped in chainmail

Rock On!

Rather unique pendants: small rocks encased in chainmail (or sometimes just wrapped in wire).  I like to use Japanese 3-1 as a base, then make connections to suit the rock shape once I've got the sheet around the rock.  Mostly I use 20 ga. for these, although I do have a couple (not pictured) that have been wrapped several times around in 28 ga.

Rings:

Usually 20 ga., 1/4", 5/32", & 1/8" ID
Galvanized steel, artistic gold, some artistic silver.
In the Japanese 3-1 weave, far left in Japanese 3-1 King's Scale.
