'Skadi ' wire weaving pendant video tutorial

In this tutorial I want to show you how to create this intricate hammered copper pendant from start to finish. We will start by creating a hammered wire frame before adding wire coils and a focal gemstone cabochon. We will learn how to prong set faceted gemstones with a wire prong setting. 'Skadi' is the Norse Goddess of winter. With its icy blue glow, the focal stone truly suits it!
