How My Wire-Wrapped Pendants Are Made



Each hand-crafted, wire-wrapped pendant starts with 4 to 6 square 14 kt gold-filled or sterling silver wires...

...which are bound together by one half-round wire.

The bundle of wires is shaped to the stone, to begin forming a harness...

...and tied into a loop.

The back is formed to hold the stone in place.

The stone is inserted and swirls designed.

The bale is formed and loose ends are tucked in.

The finished pendant.
