Wire work designers who wish to add a pop of color to their work often start with a cabochon. Here are 6 fabulous designs which feature beautiful tear drop cabochons. The designs I’ve select range from intermediate to advanced in terms of skill level.
Shown above is the spectacular manta ray pendant tutorial by US wire artist, Rina Rahmi of MozaVibeTutorial. I like how she provided the two loops at the top for attaching to the chain. This is a nod to the horn-like fins they have on both sides of their mouths. Manta rays are related to sharks but they are completely harmless as they are filter feeders. An elaborate design to celebrate the gentle graceful giants of the oceans.
