WIRE-WRAPPING SILVER CAGE GOLDEN SWIRL CRYSTAL WAND PENDANT TUTORIAL

Prepare all items from the Materials and Tool list (fig. 1a).

Part One, let’s form the main frame of your crystal holder.

Tape two strings of 18-gauge silver copper wire and make a U-bend (fig. 1b, 1c, 1d).

Then, place your crystal hexagonal wand stone at the base of your wire frame (fig. 1e, 1f).

Next, tape the right side of the 18-gauge silver wire frame onto your crystal wand stone (fig. 2a).

Bend the base frame according to the shape of the crystal point using a chain nose pliers (fig. 2b, 2c, 2d).

At the top of your crystal point, crisscross the 18-gauge silver wire frame to close (fig. 2e, 2f, 2g).

Then, straighten the remaining 18-gauge silver copper wires with a chain nose pliers (fig. 2h, 2i, 2j).

Moving on, coil the remaining 18-gauge silver copper wire into a bundle using a 26-gauge silver copper wire (fig. 3a, 3b).

Then, split the 18-gauge silver copper wires into two smaller branches (fig. 3c).

Arrange the wires into a neat wire ribbon with a chain nose pliers (fig. 3d, 3e, 3f).

Part Two, let’s form the pendant bail for your crystal holder pendant.

Make a U-curl on the 18-gauge silver copper wire ribbon with a stepped bail-making pliers (fig. 4a, 4b).

Then, shape the bail neck by squeezing the wire ribbon using a chain nose pliers (fig. 4c, 4d).

After that, split the top of your pendant bail frame into a V-shape as shown (fig. 4e, 4f).
