'beaded bezel' wire work pendant video tutorial

Hey everyone! In this tutorial I want to show how to create a beaded bezel for an oval cabochon using various wire work techniques. We’ll start by weaving with multiple base wires to form a secure structure. Using delica seed beads, we’ll add intricate patterns around the pendant’s edge. Next, I’ll show you how to create a recessed bail which is accented by copper beads. Finally, we’ll set the focal cabochon in place, securing it with wires from the bail for a polished finish. Hope you have fun with it!
