Step 5 of 13
Polish up the weave design by cutting off excess gold wires with a wire cutter (fig. 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d).
Then, bend the silver wires into a U-shape using a wooden ring mandrel (fig. 5e, 5f).
Step 6 of 13
Locate the new midpoint of the bent silver wires (fig. 6a).
Then, use a 22-gauge gold copper wire to tie them up into a bundle (fig. 6b, 6c).
Trim off the excess gold wire with a wire cutter (fig. 6d, 6e).
Step 7 of 13
Place your crystal stone onto the woven base of your silver wires (fig. 7a).
And then widen the gaps between the silver wires to create a caged frame for your crystal (fig. 7b, 7c, 7d, 7e).
