'Hinged coffin' wire weaving pendant video tutorial

Hey everyone! In this wire work tutorial, I’ll show you how to create an intricately woven, hinged 3D coffin pendant that features an interchangeable coffin-shaped focal stone. We’ll start by constructing the lower half of the pendant, incorporating a hinge mechanism and a lower latch for secure locking. Next, we’ll create the lid adorned with a spider web design and a matching upper latch. Finally, I’ll show you how to add a recessed bail and a gemstone spider to complete your unique wire work piece.
