Wire pendant tutorial - Shiloh

Hi Guys, today I want to show you how to create a ladder bezel to set a flat bed cabochon. This is an easy technique, great for beginners who want to learn how to set a focal stone. I will also show you how to make a bail and create a coil setting for an accent stone. (you can use a drilled bead instead if you are not comfortable with setting undrilled stones yet). :) Have fun!

I have found that if I coil scrap weaving wire up each of the frame wires THEN do the figure of eight weave there is less wandering as the mid-point is reached. This coiling also serves as a reminder of the desired length of the bail. ❤

That's an excellent suggestion! I have been toying with the idea to use some silicone earring stoppers but that is a much better idea.
