WIRE-WRAPPING TIMELESS GREEN OVAL STONE PENDANT TUTORIAL
Step 1 of 14
Firstly, assemble all items from the Materials and Tool list (fig. 1a).
Next, use 14-gauge brown copper wire to create the pendant main frame (fig. 1b).
Draw the frame design template on a piece of paper as shown (fig. 1c).
Bend the 14-gauge brown copper wire into shape (fig. 1d, 1e).
Then, tape the oval stone into the frame (fig. 1f).
Step 2 of 14
Secondly, form the pendant bail by curling the straight 14-gauge wires with a stepped bail-making pliers (fig. 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d).
Preserve the shape of the main frame by taping the ending wires together (fig. 2e, 2f).
Step 3 of 14
We have completed the basic frame for your pendant.
Next, we will further practice the wire structuring technique for pendant detailing.
On the back side of the pendant, pull the left loose 14-gauge wire to the front through the top frame gap (fig. 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d).
Then, curve an inner wire frame along the right side of the oval stone surface (fig. 3e, 3f, 3g).
