WIRE-WRAPPING STYLISH SINGLE PEARL NECKLACE PENDANT TUTORIAL
Step 1 of 7
Ready all items from the Materials and Tool list (fig. 1a).
Form the center support wire for your pendant using a 20 gauge copper wire that measures 4 inches in length (fig. 1b).
Curl a small hoop at the wire end with the tip of a round nose pliers as a bead stopper (fig. 1c, 1d).
Then, take one imitation pearl bead and slide it onto the curled 20 gauge copper wire (fig. 1e, 1f).
Step 2 of 7
Mark half an inch of space on the wire with a pen, and trim off the excess with a wire cutter (fig. 2a, 2b, 2c).
Then, curl the trimmed wire end into a second small hoop with the round nose pliers (fig. 2d, 2e, 2f).
The center support wire for your pearl pendant is complete (fig. 2g).
Step 3 of 7
Next, let’s frame the pearl bead with a 22 gauge copper wire that measures 8 inches in length (fig. 3a).
Attach one end of the 22 gauge copper wire onto the 20 gauge center support wire (fig. 3b, 3c).
Then, frame one side of the bead, and anchor onto the opposite end of the center support wire (fig. 3d, 3e, 3f, 3g, 3h).
Continue framing the other half of the bead and stop at the starting point (fig. 3i, 3j).
