WIRE-WRAPPING EXOTIC ALMOND DEVI GEMSTONE COPPER PENDANT TUTORIAL

Step 1 of 14

Firstly, let’s form the main wire frame for your oval cabochon gemstone.

Gather all items from the Materials and Tool list (fig. 1a).

Take a 18-gauge copper wire and bend it into a V-shape (fig. 1b, 1c).

Then, frame your oval gemstone in between the V-shape wire (fig. 1d, 1e).

Close the wire frame in the shape of an almond (fig. 1f).

Note: Use tape to group your frame and gemstone together.

Step 2 of 14

Secondly, form the wire bail for your Devi pendant.

Bend the extra 18-gauge copper wire into straight wires using a chain nose pliers (fig. 2a, 2b, 2c).

Then, take a 22-gauge copper wire and coil the straight wires together for about 1 inch in length (fig. 2d, 2e, 2f, 2g).

Step 3 of 14

Next, curl the coiled wire bail in shape using a stepped bail-making pliers (fig. 3a, 3b).

Line the extra 18-gauge straight wires along the back side of your oval stone (fig. 3c, 3d).

Then, flatten the bottom tip of your almond wire frame by hammering it on a base metal plate (fig. 3e, 3f, 3g, 3h).

Step 4 of 14

Thirdly, let’s add beautiful Devi-inspired copper accents onto your pendant.

Pull the loose 18-gauge copper wires under and through your wire bail (fig. 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e).

Then, make 2 coils on both side of your top almond tip frame:

• Left frame tip (fig. 4f, 4g).
• Right frame tip (fig. 4h, 4i).
