In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a main frame using heavy gauge wire, for our focal stone to sit in. I'll walk you through hammering techniques to shape the wire flanges and outer frame. I’ll show you how to seamlessly integrate weaves, accent stones, and beads to enhance your piece. Enjoy the process, and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below!
