Next, let’s design the top frame for your diamond holder. Wrap two loops on the top of your diamond using the loose double 20-gauge silver copper wires on the left (fig. 7a):

  • First loop (fig. 7b, 7c).
  • Second loop (fig. 7d, 7e).

Then, pull the remaining 20-gauge silver copper wires through the back and out to the bottom left of your diamond (fig. 7f, 7g, 7h, 7i).
