From this step onwards, you will use techniques such as wire weaving and wire structuring to finish the final detailing for your pendant.
Start by slipping a string of 18-gauge gold copper in between the right side your stone and your main wire frame (fig. 12a).
Remember to pull equal length of your 18-gauge wires for the double wire weave effect.

Make the first anchor point on the bottom right side of your front frame (fig. 12b).
Then, pull your wire to the back and make the second anchor on the bottom left of your stone guard (fig. 12c).
Next, pull your wire diagonally to the top right of your stone guard and make the third anchor (fig. 12d, 12e).
Pull your wire to the front of your pendant and form one large loop structure on the top left side of your pendant (fig. 12f, 12g, 12h).
After that, pull your wire to the bottom right of your stone guard and make the fourth anchor (fig. 12i, 12j).

Moving on, make a double loop structure on the bottom left of your stone and pull the remaining wire to the side (fig. 14c, 14d, 14e, 14f).
