This pendant is made for a wonderful person called Mary. The pea pod is adapted from a tutorial on peapods at http://www.rings-things.com/ (go to the design link, and then to the "sweet pea" tutorial). Or, go to http://www.rings-things.com/gallery/thumbnails-55.html and click on the Sweet Pea tutorial. For some reason I can't get to the direct link. Dave (owner of the Rings-Things store) has graciously given the direct link here in the comments...see if you can get there by clicking it. For some reason I cannot. At any rate, its a great online store for jewelry supplies, tutorials etc. Take a look around over there :-).
I have changed it a little by twisting the shape of the pod instead of keeping it straight, so the pod twists to the left. And I did not making any holes...instead I soldered the wire and made tendrils with it. The sheet is sterling silver and the wire is fine silver.

Hi Swati Nigam, you've taken our peapod idea in a great new direction that's uniquely yours! Thanks for mentioning us :)

Thank you Sapna!
Thank you Dave! And thank so much for giving the direct link...but it doesn't seem to be working. I would very much like to put the direct link here. :-)
Hi once again -- I've just tested the link and it worked fine. ? At any rate, you're right that people can search for the Sweet Pea Necklace once they go to Rings & Things' site! :)

Really strange...when I click the link, I get a blank page on your site (banner etc are there), with a message that say, "No image to display". I'll put the link to your metal stamping section, and then they can see "sweet pea" right there. I am new to your store...someone told me about it and said its a great place...I agree...so many resources, tools, supplies etc. I'll add your site to my link list here.
O.K., many thanks!
