WIRE-WRAPPING COILED ROUND LABRADORITE SILVER BEADED PENDANT TUTORIAL
Step 1 of 16
Ready all items from the Materials and Tool list (fig. 1a).
Take a 18-gauge silver copper wire, and cut 3 wire strings that measure 24 inches in length each (fig. 1b).
Then, use a stepped bail-making pliers to curl the midpoints of the wire strings (fig. 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1g, 1h).
Tape the curled wires into a bundle to form the wire bail for your pendant (fig. 1i).
Step 2 of 16
Next, take a 22-gauge silver copper wire as a coiling wire for your bail (fig. 2a).
Firstly, coil the middle and right 18-gauge bail wires from the front side to the back side (fig. 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e).
Then, pull the remaining 22-gauge coiling wire to the front side, and repeat the coiling process on the left 18-gauge bail wire (fig. 2f, 2g, 2h, 2i, 2j).
Lastly, trim off the excess 22-gauge coiling wire with wire cutter (fig. 2k).
