Curve the second flat copper wire and wrap it on the bottom half of your birthstone pendant (fig. 11a).
Then, wrap the bracelet strap design as shown (fig. 11b, 11c).
Trim the excess flat copper wire with a wire cutter (fig. 11d, 11e).
Repeat the designing process on the left bracelet strap (fig. 11f, 11g, 11h, 11i, 11j).
Lastly, polish the surface of your bracelet using a finest steel wire wool (fig. 11k, 11l).
Step 12 of 15
Sixthly, let’s make a spiral coin design for your pendant back.
Take a string of 18-gauge copper wire and make a small curl at the wire end with a round nose pliers (fig. 12a, 12b, 12c).
Then, continue to wind the 18-gauge copper wire into a tight spiral using a nylon jaw pliers (fig. 12d, 12e, 12f).
Make sure the spiral coin is large enough to cover the back of your birthstone pendant (fig. 12g, 12h).
Lastly, use a 26-gauge copper wire to weave the spiral coin in place (fig. 12i, 12j, 12k).
