Next, tape the secondary wire frame tip at the bottom of your labradorite stone (fig. 10a).
Then, curve the remaining wires around the side of your stone (fig. 10b, 10c, 10d).

Step 11 of 27
At the intersecting point of the 18 gauge wires, make a wire loop pattern on the right side with your stepped bail making pliers (fig. 11a, 11b).
Make sure the wire loop are at the same level as the wire bail (fig. 11c).
Repeat the same wire looping process for the left side (fig. 11d, 11e, 11f).
Step 12 of 27
Complete your secondary wire frame design by flattening it out with a hammer (fig. 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d).
After that, adjust any frame deformities with a nylon jaw pliers (fig. 12e, 12f).
Lastly, trim off the excess 18 gauge wires with a wire cutter (fig. 12g, 12h, 12i, 12j, 12k, 12l).
Take note, trim the wire at the intersection point for a full loop pattern (fig. 12m).
Your secondary wire frame is complete!
