This is a wonderful design for thin stones! I will be excited to try and set the fauceted stone! Never know until you try it. I really like that added bling!
I'm doing a drilled stone tutorial next month for a larger coin bead. :) I definitely need to put drilled hearts on the list! Thanks for the suggestion!
Excellent tutorial beautiful design you can do so many different pattern of weaves also so many possibilities if one wanted to try other patterns for different stones thank you fir sharing 😊💙🙏
At the 31:56 minute mark you use pliers to make some space in the front frame weave so you can lash the back and front together. A favorite tool of mine for that task is using a T-pin. Thanks for the lovely tutorial.
Thanks, Stan! I use a liver of sulfur gel solution to darken my pieces. Here's a video I uploaded last week showing you how to do that at home: ua-cam.com/video/bxp6bfabBsc/v-deo.htmlsi=4iF3Fm7unAe8CCt1. Hope that helps!
I absolutely love the back! I think the bezel itself ought to be a little larger all around to contain the stone, leaving a back that is flat and flush with the bezel. There are certain key points on the stone that need to be captured, in order to secure the stone.
I agree. The design is better suited for thinner stones, but this is what I had to work with at the time.. lol. It probably would have been better if I’d made the bezel wider as well. :)
I have made this!! Your tutelage is wonderful! BTW how should wire be held as not to have the warmth of your hands distort your work?? I seem to have a death grip... I am trying to use my fingers only my hands... Blah!
Thanks!! Hmm... I think having clamps really helped me with that. Also, just being very conscious of what I'm doing and reminding myself to relax... lol. I hope that makes sense?
I love your videos, and I've learned so much from you! My question is, when you sell a pendant, do you offer a chain or a chord with the pendant? Do you have any advice?
I usually offer a nickel-free, copper finished chain with my pieces. Occasionally I exchange for cords, if requested. (I get them from GemPlus24 on Etsy). I just make sure to factor that cost into the piece. If they want a solid copper chain, I usually charge extra for them. Hope that helps!
Thank you for the tutorial. You are a master at the art of weaving. Thanks for showing me how to add a faceted stone to the bail. I have not found a way to simply add a stone before, so thank you for this excellent tutorial. I am working on it right now! I love the way you finished the back!
@@megansmith8827 LOL. I've been there done that! It shouldn't be a problem. ;) If you do need any facets, Casdans has them now! (Which is a huge yay for me. ;)) casdans.com/collections/facets?filter.p.m.custom.shape=Round
Please, keep the working part in the camera. I grew so frustrated trying to see what you were doing when putting in the small stone on top. I love your work, but I had to stop and complain before finishing this tutorial. But thank you for your tutorials.
How long does this take someone who isn't a newbie? I spent hours getting the front done in the first sitting, next day took me hours to do the bail and back, now trying to ramp up the energy to tackle the bezel and tie ons. My hands hurt and I managed to gouge my palm with my fingernail doing all that weaving LOL. it's coming out nice, but man, I can't charge enough to compensate for the time and injuries LOLOL Am annoying perfectionist.
LOL. It took me a couple years to get better at speed. I would definitely continue taking your time and as muscle memory develops, you'll get faster. It takes me a couple hours to do this design, but I've been weaving for almost 6 years now. :)
Just used this to guide my very first wire wrap and I’m so grateful! What a wonderful teacher! ✨
Yay!! I'm so happy for you!
It shows, how much love you put in your design, the result is stunning👍 Back and front both are beautyful! Thank you for sharing❣
Grtzz, Marion
Aww, thank you so much, Marion!!
Just beautiful. I won't say easy but it looks like something I could do. I have a stone in mind to try. Thank you.
Thanks! I hope you enjoy wrapping up your own pendant! :)
I just finished this and it came out beautiful! Thanks for another wonderful tutorial!
Yay! I'm soo happy to hear that!

Wauw just amazing!!! I love it❤. What kind of stone did you use? Because the stone is also very pretty!
Aww, thanks so much! I believe it's an ocean jasper. I got it from Casdans.com. :)
Hello. You have wonderful products. Please what do you dip the copper in to make it look old? thank you Stan
Liver of Sulfur. Stinky stuff, but it works!

Beautiful Piece Ellie. Love your pieces. Would Half round weaving take considerably longer? Or even possible?
Thank you! It might take less time, but could be very fiddly in keeping the half-round from twisting. lol. Otherwise, I can't see why not?
@@ellieshandcrafted Thanks Ellie!
@@dondattler7085 You're welcome!
❤ i hope u can drop more tutorial,,,i love your videos
One coming up this week! ;) Thanks!!

@@dawncatinella9781 Sure thing!!

I love the piece that you created it's beautiful including the faceted cab but i'd be frightened that that ceb would fly out/ drop out
This design is definitely better for thin stones. I think I used a stone that was a tad too thick and probably should have made the bezel a tad wider.
Tha audra tutorial can you use a round cab instead of faceted? The small one i mean
I don't see why not. :)
Thanks I already purchased but hasn't used it yet as my little ones aren't faceted 😂
@@megansmith8827 LOL. I've been there done that! It shouldn't be a problem. ;) If you do need any facets, Casdans has them now! (Which is a huge yay for me. ;)) casdans.com/collections/facets?filter.p.m.custom.shape=Round

Do you keep your weaving wire on the spool?
Generally, yes. I have a ribbon dispenser that I use to hold my wire, so I just pull it from there :)
Could i use 18 and 24 gauge wire?
You could, but 24 gauge can be difficult to weave with. I usually recommend weaving with 26 or 28 gauge wire. But 18 gauge, should work just fine. :)
Ok, So I have a question? How much of the stone should the woven wires cover?
I would say, just enough to hold the stone in place. Maybe an 1/8 of an inch or so? Hope that answers your question. ☺️
@@ellieshandcrafted 😁
Where did get focal stone?
I got it from casdans.com. She has the best stones!
Can I use an oval stone instead
Absolutely!!
Thank you
@@angelabatstone2975 You're welcome. :)
😍😍
What aize stone
The stone was about 25mm x 30mm. Hope that helps!
Please, keep the working part in the camera. I grew so frustrated trying to see what you were doing when putting in the small stone on top. I love your work, but I had to stop and complain before finishing this tutorial. But thank you for your tutorials.
Sorry about that! It does happen occasionally... I hope you were able to see how to place the stone in there. Thanks for you comment!
Fa estás hermosa 😸
Thank you!
she ruined the first tie she broke it off i think she should have created the tie actually its not a secure weave.
