Step 6 of 20
On the back side of the cabochon pendant, trim the excess 18-gauge wire off the bail (round structure) of the primary wire frame (fig. 6a, 6b, 6c).
You don’t have to trim it exactly tip-to-tip, because we want to create thickness for the bail later (fig. 6d, 6e, 6f).

Step 7 of 20
In this step, we will use the wire coiling technique on the secondary 18-gauge wire frame.
Begin with a new length of 22-gauge gold copper wire (fig. 7a).
Anchor the 22-gauge gold copper wire with a few starting loops on the secondary 18-gauge wire frame (fig. 7b).
Then, proceed to coil the whole frame and stop at the bail edge as shown (fig. 7c, 7d, 7e).
Step 8 of 20
Continue to work on the secondary wire frame, take the loose wire end on the bottom-left side of the pendant and wrap it to the back of the pendant (fig. 8a, 8b, 8c).
Then, continue to wrap it over the front-bottom side of the primary wire frame as shown (fig. 8d, 8e).
