WIRE-WRAPPING CHARMING ANCHOR WITH GREEN OVAL GEMSTONE PENDANT TUTORIAL

Step 1 of 22

Firstly, prepare all items from the Materials and Tool list for quick access (fig. 1a).

Next, draw your anchor pendant design template on a piece of paper (fig. 1b).

Trace the anchor main frame using three pieces of 12-gauge gold copper wire as shown (fig. 1c).

Step 2 of 22

Flatten the three 12-gauge gold copper wire pieces with a flat round face hammer on a metal base plate or jewelry anvil (fig. 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e, 2f).

This is how your wires should look like after flattening:

  • Anchor Stock (short) and Shank (long) (fig. 2g).
  • Anchor Arm (curved) (fig. 2h).
