Minimalist wire work pendant video tutorial

THIS IS AN EXCLUSIVE VIDEO TO ACCOMPANY THE PROJECT 'MINIMALIST PENDANT' IN MY WIRE WORK BOOK 'TWISTED'. You must have purchased the book in order to be able to use this tutorial. If you do not have a copy of my book yet, you can find it in the it in the 'Book' section.

In this tutorial I will show you how to create a minimalist pendant with a pear shaped gemstone. We will learn how to create a simple frame that allows the stone to show rather than hiding its features as well as how to set a stone in the bail of the pendant.
