Hi friends! I hope you enjoy making Claudia! This is a bale-less pendant design, using two round base wires and 28g weaving wire. This is a beautiful way to create jewelry using your lovely round cabochons. It's a unique design and offers many variation opportunities, using the extended wires. You might see this mid-way through the tutorial, how you could use the wires to create beautiful cuff bracelets or bar necklaces. I show how and where to add an additional 20g decorative wire to the frame... you could also add more than one if you wanted more wire on the design. I hope this tickles your imagination and inspires you to see your round cabs in a fresh way. Much love! As always, tools and materials are listed in the first 20 seconds of my video. Have fun! Thanks for watching, please remember to Subscribe, Like, and Share my channel with all of your wire wrap and wire weave-loving friends!
WOW!!. Claudia has more curves than the curviest street in San Francisco!!. Actually, Claudia is one of the most beautiful pendants I have ever seen, please do continue to make more of these beauties. ♥️
So enjoy your tutorials! ...watching your creative process is so grounding. I tend to watch you when I'm between projects. Those times when I need to give my hangs a break or just haven't decided what to do with components I've created. Thanks so much! (I always chuckle when you say, "No need to kill it"😄) This is a great option - hidden bail. Love it.
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! This design seems so complicated, but the way you teach it makes trying it seem not so daunting!! I will definitely be attempting to create your design! 😍
Was in search of this method to secure the stone and came to your channel first. Hadn’t thought of doing it without the bail, but this is gorgeous!! ❤ I’ll be trying this as soon as I finish my work day. Thank you
Wow Susan ! This is a fabulously beautiful way to capture a round stone! at about the 50 minute'ish mark i was envisioning so many variations and directions this design could go, bar pendants.... ? Thank you for sharing this with us.
Wonderful! That's the idea with this one, this can go into many variations from the initial wrap, you're very right! Enjoy it, Mona! Thanks for your lovely comment!
What a fantastic design. Perfectly beautiful 🎉 & you never fail to supply us with new techniques that nobody else seems to know (or use) Thanks again for all your hard work 🥰
Thank you, Lindsay! I try to design unique ways using my own version of basic techniques. I appreciate that you notice. 🙏🙏❤️❤️. My goal is to give this art form some fresh perspective.
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry I really do love watching the unique twist you put on the ancient practice 🤗. I love your respect for geometry, honestly, so inspiring (sorry for being a bit geeky over it all 😂) I think you have definitely surpassed your aims 👍🙏😘 I must photograph something for you before I rip it apart... 💗
@sandykaunisto6548 Sandy! Thank you soooo much for that generous Super Thanks you gave me! Wow! 🙏🙏❤️❤️ I appreciate you! I'll be using and showing off your gorgeous beads soon too, just need the right design to form in my brain for them. Much love! Thanks again!
I use a Dremel, fabric wheel and Fabuluster compound. After polish, then a wash with toothbrush and mild dish soap to remove the Fabuluster. Dry, seal and ready to wear! Thanks, Suria!
Love this design but I wondered if you feel this would only work with round stones or could it be adapted to other shapes such as teardrop with the point facing down?
Thanks Deborah, I have two additional videos, Clayton is a version of Claudia using a larger, oval stone with more embellishments... I also did a Membership livestream where we made the hairstick using a heart stone which I also show can be subed with a teardrop stone... so yes! This weaved frame works on ovals, rounds, teardrops and upsidedown heartstones.
Thank you! I do sometimes but sometimes I leave the wire natural, depends on the stone and my mood. 😀 I have a Beginners playlist. There is an introduction to oxidation and polishing. There are some wonderful, easy basic videos tutorials in that playlist too. Enjoy! Thanks for watching!! ❤️ ua-cam.com/play/PLRjvDtRZcW7ulE7KwpWEdT5umqxbtp5f0.html&si=US-2qW5PmdVIBK3K
Love, love, love the heady design. But this quality piece really deserves a substantial bail and not two 'jumprings'. Either a two wire split bail (like the two wire design you started with) or a folded over diamond shape bail♦using the figure 8 weave you used on the back. The heavier bail would give the piece visual balance.

Absolutely stunning. Thank you so much. How did you polish it? With a polishing cloth?
I use a Dremel, fabric wheel and Fabuluster compound. After polish, then a wash with toothbrush and mild dish soap to remove the Fabuluster. Dry, seal and ready to wear! Thanks, Suria!

Gorgeous 😍😍

Susan do you oxidize your copper pendant when you are finished? If so,do you have a video on how to do that?

Fair enough! Thanks for your comment, this is a lovely option to a bale design, which you can find everywhere.
❤❤
Thank you for watching!🙏❤️
I had only 1 round cabochon so of course I had to give this a go.
Awesome! Thanks, Debbie, enjoy making Claudia! 🙏❤️
Are you talking or is this silent?
There is sound
She's talking
Super, I guess my phone was acting up. It's working now. Thank you. 😊
Thanks, Patti!
