Shiloh wire weaving pendant video tutorial

Hey everyone! I’m excited to share a simple wire work technique for creating a ladder bezel to set your flat bed cabochon. This beginner-friendly method is perfect for those looking to master the art of setting cabochons. I’ll also guide you through making a wire woven bail. We will then create a coil setting for an accent stone - feel free to use a drilled bead if you’re not yet comfortable with undrilled stones. :) Have fun!
