Let’s add a red crystal onto your woven bail.

Slip a small raindrop crystal onto a new 22-gauge copper wire (fig. 4a).

Then, place the crystal at the center of the curved bail neck (fig. 4b).

Anchor the crystal by coiling it inwards where the wires exit from the center of the bail:

  • Right bail anchor point (fig. 4c, 4d).
  • Left bail anchor point (fig. 4e, 4f, 4g).
