Step 7 of 21
Assign six 18-gauge wires for the middle bundle (fig. 7a).
Then, use a 22-gauge silver copper wire to weave the following pattern:
- Further divide the wires into 3 parts.
- Make 2 coils on the right, 6 coils in the middle, 2 coils on the left, then 6 coils in the middle (fig. 7b).
Continue weaving for about 2 inches (fig. 7c).

Then, form the pendant bail by curling a U-shape using a stepped bail-making pliers (fig. 7d, 7e, 7f, 7g).
Note that the remaining bail wires will be used for designing the back of your pendant at a later time.

Step 8 of 21
Next, assign 7 loose 18-gauge wires on the right side bundle (fig. 8a, 8b).
Then, separate 3 wires from the bundle and twist it with a nylon jaw pliers (fig. 8c, 8d, 8e).
Step 9 of 21
Make one loop over the pendant bail with the twisted wire (fig. 9a, 9b, 9c, 9d.
Then, make a second loop through the pendant bail (fig. 9e, 9f).
Step 10 of 21
After that, wrap the remaining twisted wire around your pendant bail neck (fig. 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e, 10f, 10g).
Towards the end of the twisted wire, make a small loop with a stepped bail-making pliers to finish the design (fig. 10h, 10i, 10j).
