PDF Tutorial Arrakis pendant

 tutorial - 'Arrakis' wire pendant

In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through the process of creating a wrapped wire weaveless pendant. You’ll learn how to securely set your focal stone using a tightly wrapped wire technique, ensuring it stands out beautifully. We’ll also weave in accent stones within the wire frame, adding depth and character to your piece. Finally, I’ll demonstrate how to finish off the pendant and incorporate those lovely accents seamlessly. This is an ideal project for intermediate wire wrappers looking to enhance their skills in setting accent stones within a coiled stone setting. Let’s dive in!
