Now, let’s form an abstract geometric wire frame for your pendant.
Start by wrapping the right 20-gauge wire branch along the right side of your round gemstone (fig. 4a).
Then, create a wire prong with the inner right wire as shown (fig. 4b):

- Make a right angle bend on the inner wire (fig. 4c).
- Pinch the inner wire together to form a wire prong (fig. 4d).
- Lastly, line the remaining inner wire along with the outer wire (fig. 4e).
Repeat the process on the left wire branch (fig. 4f, 4g, 4h, 4i, 4j).
After that, use round nose pliers to bend an abstract shaped loops for your pendant as shown (fig. 4k, 4l, 4m).

Next, let’s add texture onto the abstract geometric wire frame using 26-gauge gold copper wire (fig. 5a).
On the left 20-gauge copper wire branch, do the following weave combo (fig. 5b, 5c):
- Start with 5 small coils on the outer left wire.
- Then, make 2 big coils over both outer and inner wires.
Repeat until the weave combo until you have covered the entire wire frame as shown (fig. 5d).
Step 6 of 14
Tape the top and bottom of your wire frame to keep its shape (fig. 6a).
Form the final wire prong on the top of your round gemstone with the loose right 20-gauge copper wire branch (fig. 6b, 6c, 6d, 6e).
At your pendant back, loop the remaining right wire branch at the center of your gemstone (fig. 6f, 6g, 6h).
Then, trim off the excess wires using a wire cutter as shown (fig. 6i).
Step 7 of 14
After that, weave an additional 2 inches on your left loose 20-gauge wire branch (fig. 7a, 7b).
Then, wrap the weaved wire around the back of your gemstone (fig. 7c).
Leave a bit of space when trimming off the excess wire to make a curled wire end design as shown (fig. 7d, 7e).
