list of materials This is the list of materials and tools necessary to make 1 pendant

• I've used oxidized copper to create this earrings, but it can be any other wire –brass, copper, silver

or gold-filled.

• 24 cm (9,44’’) of 0,6 mm wire in diameter/ 22 or 23 gauge wire

• 20 cm (7,87’’) of 0,3 mm wire in diameter (cut the wire in half – you will attache the drop and the copper bead to the pendant)

• 1 fluorite drop, or any other stone/bead in drop shape (mine is around 1,2 cm long)

• 1 copper bead

• 1 little copper ring for hanging pendant into the chain

Step 1

Take 20 gauge wire – and make a hoop like on the photo. Hoop should be in the middle of the wire! It is easier to first just bend in half the wire and then make a

hoop

Step 2

Now you have to make hoops like it is shown on pics. Make it on the both side of big hoop.

Step 3

Now you have to attache the drop to the pendant. Take 0.3 mm wire and wrapp it to the wire base - like on the photos (4 or 5 wraps should be enough – on both sides) Then put the drop on the wire and wire wrapp the other part of the wire. It should be as closest as you can to the wire base. Then cut the rest of the thin wires.

Step 6

Now we have to attache the little copper bead to the pendant. You do it in fact, in the same way you attache the drop. First wire wrapp the 0.3 mm wire on the base

wire, move it to the top of the wire, put the bead on, and wire wrapp the other part. Then cut the rest of the wires.
