WIRE-WRAPPING DAINTY ROUND RED RUBY STONE PENDANT TUTORIAL

Step 1 of 9

Firstly, gather all items from the Materials and Tool list (fig. 1a).

Then, prepare the following items:

• Two strings of 18-gauge silver copper wire (fig. 1b, 1c).
• One string of 22-gauge silver copper wire (fig. 1d, 1e).

Take note that the 18-gauge wires shall be used as the pendant wire frame.

While the 22-gauge wire shall be used for wire weaving.

Step 2 of 9

Let’s begin with the wire weaving for your pendant wire frame.

Hold the 18-gauge wires together with your 22-gauge wire as shown (fig. 2a).

The basic wire weaving sequence is as follow:

1. Two big wraps over both 18-gauge wires (fig. 2b, 2c).
2. Three small wraps on the lower 18-gauge wire  (fig. 2d, 2e, 2f).

Step 3 of 9

Continue the basic wire weaving sequence along the length of your 18-gauge wires:

• Second set of two big wraps and three small lower wraps (fig. 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3e, 3f).
• Third set of the similar wraps (fig. 3g, 3h, 3i).

Checkpoint: This is how your woven wires should look (fig. 3j).

Step 4 of 9

Weave your pendant wire frame until you have the desired length (fig. 4a).

At the front end of your woven wires, trim off the excess 22-gauge wire with a wire cutter (fig. 4b, 4c, 4d).
