Step 5 of 13
Use a nylon jaw pliers to narrow the gap of your bail (fig. 5a, 5b, 5c).
Then, decorate your bail with a string of 22-gauge gold copper wire, using the wire coiling technique (fig. 5d, 5e).
Start from the back end of your bail and work along until you reached the front end (fig. 5f).

Step 6 of 13
Extend the coils to the top of your pendant frame (fig. 6a).
To finish off the coiling, make two rows of silver bead lining (fig. 6b, 6c, 6d).
Then, anchor the remaining wire on the left frame to secure your design (fig. 6e, 6f, 6g).
Cut off the excess wire with a wire cutter (fig. 6h, 6i).
Step 7 of 13
Now, let’s continue part two of the main frame design.
Coil the bottom frames together with a string of 22-gauge gold copper wire (fig. 7a, 7b, 7c).
Start coiling from the left most corner until you reach the midpoint (fig. 7d, 7e).
Then, continue coiling until you reach the right most corner and cut off the excess wire (fig. 7f, 7g, 7h).
Step 8 of 13
Moving on, pull the right loose 12-gauge copper wire to the back of your pendant (fig. 8a, 8b).
Then, make a big wrap around your stone (fig. 8c, 8d).
After that, hold the wire in place by weaving it onto the top right of your main frame using a 12-gauge gold copper wire (fig. 8e, 8f).
