Custom Jewelry

So, today I went to a crystal shop and I bought these four crystals/stones.

(From left to right, top to bottom: Lepidolite, Aragonite, Rhodonite, Snowflake Obsidian)

Then I went and got some necklace cord and aluminum wire and I turned them into jewelry:

I could go more in-depth but that's pretty much all I have to say about it.

What do you think? It's the first jewelry I've ever made, so do you think it looks good for my first time? Or is it sub-par?

Let me know below k cool

Re: Custom Jewelry

As electrician I can advise you to solder both ends of the copper wire. Best if you solder them where this "knot" or wrapping of wire is. Top of the gem.

Now sell them for profit. That's what most businesses do.

It's aluminum, and I was going to try but did not have the tools. Will it work with aluminum?

These are mine, but maybe I can keep getting better and start selling

Re: Custom Jewelry

Very nice!

Also, I see four rocks, but 3 necklaces. Did one of them not turn out well?

Re: Custom Jewelry

They look good, but they also look somewhat heavy.  Are they?

Re: Custom Jewelry

Well, I like the stones you've chosen but you might need to work a little bit on that holding wire, as Helvi said maybe soldering would do the trick but you have to take into account that the soldering wire contains lead, you could find it lead free but it still contains other nasty chemicals that are not so skin friendly, not even cooper is the best, there are other and more convenient solutions I'm sure you'll find, if you research a little. Great job! you should really continue with this.

Re: Custom Jewelry

Yeah, my intention is to avoid soldering (as it's not some high-tech project) and instead use simple jeweler's pliers to bend the wires correctly into a position where there are no exposed ends or sharp pieces.
As for the stones, I've done a lot of research on stones and I bought them from an independent shop in a nearby city. I'm a huge fan of crystals/stones
