WIRE-WRAPPING SIMPLE SHARK TOOTH PENDANT TUTORIAL
Step 1 of 6
Ready all items from the Materials and Tool list (fig. 1a, 1b).
Form the wire bail for your pendant with a string of 22 gauge gold copper wire and stepped bail-making pliers (fig. 1c, 1d).
Start by curling your 22 gauge wire into a loop as shown (fig. 1e, 1f).
Step 2 of 6
Twist the front end of your 22-gauge wire to close the loop (fig. 2a).
Then, use a wire cutter to trim off the excess wire (fig. 2b, 2c).
Secure the loop by tightening the wire with a long needle nose pliers (fig. 2d, 2e).
Your pendant bail is complete.
