Next, take another 18-gauge silver copper wire string and wrap the other half of your pendant (fig. 5a, 5b).
Then, use a flat nose pliers to bend the extra wire at the center point (fig. 5c, 5d).
Pull the loose 18-gauge silver copper wires to the back of your birthstone pendant (fig. 5e).
After that, bundle the 18-gauge silver copper wires together on both sides using a 26-gauge silver copper wire (fig. 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i).
Step 6 of 15
Face the back of your birthstone pendant (fig. 6a).
Then, wrap the left loose 18-gauge silver copper wires around the third ring frame to the right direction as shown (fig. 6b).
Repeat this process on the right loose 18-gauge silver copper wires (fig. 6c).
Then, secure the back design by weaving the wires onto the third ring frame using a 26-gauge silver copper wire (fig. 6d, 6e, 6f, 6g).
