TUTORIAL:

Prong Pendant - Slider Style

Uploaded on: Dec 12, 2008
Level: Advanced
Description:

~~~~~►New LOWER Price◄~~~~~
This tutorial teaches the techniques to wire wrap a slider style pendant, with a prong setting. It can be altered to set either a cab, or faceted stone. Modifying the gauge of wire and number of prongs, it can be used to set almost any size and shape of stone. The materials listed for this project are for a 30mm by 20mm oval cab, with a 5 wire ‘basket’ base, but I provide details on how to measure for different stones.
