There are so many different ways to wrap beads onto the wire wrapper pendants. I used gemstones, crystals, and Czech glass. What will you try?
Wire wrapper pendants from Artistic Wire allow you to create unique focals for your designs. Artbeads Designer Cheri created a look of captured beads and crystals in her necklaces. You can add beads to the wire while wrapping or use the wire to keep a component in place within the frame. These pendants give you lots of options
Cut the Gold 24 gauge Artbeads Designer Wire approximately 12 inches long. You want enough to wrap with and some to hold onto. Wrap one end of your wire to a groove in the Artistic Wire 28mm antique brass round wire wrapper pendant. Wrap it around this groove a couple times for a good hold.
Start wrapping the wire, adding fluorite loose gemstone chips to the wire as you go so that they are in the desired position. Wrap back and forth across the frame until you have the area within the frame looking the way you like. Wrap the end of the wire to the frame and trim. Fold the end of the wire inside of the frame for a clean finish.
Attach the pendant to a two-foot length of antique brass etched Figaro chain using a 4.5mm antique brass-plated 21 gauge open jump ring. Attach a 12x5mm antique brass-plated lobster clasp to one end of the chain using a 4.5mm jump ring. Attach a 6mm antique brass-plated open jump ring to the other end of the chain using another 4.5mm jump ring. ,

Add three Czech glass 6x8mm milk aqua with Picasso finish faceted roundel beads to the wire, then wrap the end to the groove directly across from where you wrapped the beginning of the wire.
Attach the pendant to a 20-inch length of 1.5mm antique brass diamond cut ball chain using a 6mm antique brass-plated open jump ring. Attach the antique brass ball chain connector to the end of the ball chain. ,
Crystal Luminous Green Vision Stone Necklace
