Step 13 of 17

For the third part of this tutorial, you will use the wire weaving technique to assemble your pendant.

On your pendant bail, use a 18-gauge gold copper wire and weave the 12-gauge wires together with 3 starting coils (fig. 13a, 13b, 13c).

Proceed to make 7 more coils along your bail (fig. 13d).

Trim off the excess 18-gauge wire with a wire cutter (fig. 13e, 13f).

Checkpoint: This is how your pendant bail should look (fig. 13g, 13h).
