Step 22 of 29
Now, let’s work on the right 18-gauge wire bundle that we previously divided from Step 10 (fig. 22a).
Let’s weave the wires into a textured strip using 22-gauge gold copper wire (fig. 22b, 22c):
- Start from the bottom string as first, and make a three coils with your 22-gauge wire (fig. 22d).
- Then, make two coils on the first and second strings (fig. 22e).
- Repeat two coils on the second and third strings (fig. 22f).
- Repeat two coils on the third and fourth strings (fig. 22g).
- Repeat two coils on the fourth and fifth strings (fig. 22h).
- Next, make two big coils covering all strings (fig. 22i).
- Finish the weaving sequence with five coils on the first string (fig. 22j).
Start the second set of weaving sequence as follow:

- Make two coils on the first and second strings (fig. 22k).
- Repeat two coils on the second and third strings (fig. 22l).
- Repeat two coils on the fourth and fifth strings (fig. 22m).
- Repeat two coils on the third and fourth strings (fig. 22n).
- Then, make two big coils around all strings (fig. 22o).
- Lastly, finish with five coils on the first string (fig. 22p).
Continue weaving until your textured strip is long enough to wrap your pendant (fig. 22q).

Step 23 of 29
Trim off the extra 22-gauge wire at the staring point with a wire cutter (fig. 23a, 23b, 23c).
Moving on, wrap the textured strip around the neck of your pendant bail (fig. 23d, 23e, 23f, 23g, 23h, 23i, 23j).
Then, trim off the extra 22-gauge wire at the end of your wire strip (fig. 23k, 23l, 23m, 23n).
