Step 10 of 15
This is the last part of your main wire frame design, the wire stone guard.
Flip your pendant to the back and focus on the bottom part of the loose 12-gauge copper wires (fig. 10a, 10b).
Use a flat nose pliers and bend an inward right angle on the loose right wire (fig. 10c).
Then, cut off the excess wire with a big wire cutter (fig. 10d, 10e).
Repeat the same process on the left loose 12-gauge wire (fig. 10f, 10g, 10h ,10i, 10j).
Step 11 of 15
After that, tighten the grip of your wire stone guard by tying them up with a 18-gauge gold copper wire (fig. 11a, 11b).
Make an anchor on the left stone guard and pull the wire across the bottom of your stone (fig. 11c, 11d).
Then, make an anchor on the right stone guard (fig. 11e, 11f).
Lastly, cut off the excess 18-gauge wire (fig. 11g, 11h).
Your main wire frame and wire stone guard is complete.
