Step 11 of 20

Tidy up the secondary frame by cutting off the excess wires (fig. 11a, 11b, 11c).

Remember to trim the wires close to the frame so that it won’t get caught on clothes (fig. 11d, 11e, 11f.

CHECKPOINT: This is how your pendant should look at this point (fig. 11g, 11h).

Next, use a new string of 22-gauge copper wire to add a finishing design at the bottom of the secondary frame (fig. 12a).

Make five big loops with 22-gauge wire as shown (fig. 12b, 12c).

Cut off excess wire with wire cutter (fig. 12d, 12e, 12f, 12g).

Step 13 of 20

For this step, we will wrap the bail bundle with the remaining 22-gauge wire from the secondary frame of Step 8.

From the pendant front side, I used the loose wire from the right side (fig. 13a, 13b) and begin wrapping the bail bundle in coils.

Make sure to coil all the 18-gauge wires to form one thick bail (fig. 13c, 13d, 13e).

 Wrap in one direction only – towards the left direction (fig. 13f, 13g).
