Then, make a small curve at the bottom right frame and pull the remaining wire to the pendant front (fig. 23e, 23f).

Make another small curve underneath the vine design (fig. 23g, 23h).

Pull the wire to the back and make an anchor point at the bottom of your stone and bundle all the wires there (fig. 23i, 23j, 23k).

Lastly, cut the excess wire with a small wire cutter (fig. 23l).

Step 24 of 27

Repeat the same wire structuring process on the left side:

Anchor the loose 18 gauge wire on the left side of the primary wire frame (fig. 24a, 24b, 24c).

Make two small curves on the back and front of your pendant (fig. 24d, 24e).

Pull the remaining wire to the back and anchor at the bottom of the stone (fig. 24f, 24g).

Use a small wire cutter to trim off the excess wire (fig. 24h, 24i).

Your second pendant detailing layer is complete (fig. 24j)!
