Here, we're down to the last couple of wire lengths and while they can be simply finished off, it's more fun to use them for added design.








Sometimes, the work invested is 'on the back' but pays off by 'showing' along the sides or the front.  In this case, I use the back wires to add substance to the sides and back of the pendant.

Taking time to manipulate wires into elegant curves will make a huge difference in your finished project.  

If the curves are not elegant and contain small, out of balanced 'kinks'... use round nose pliers and a very light touch to smooth out the curves and remove the kinks.

I invest time into the back, not only to make it as attractive as I can, but also to ensure that the cabochon is held tightly within the wire.

I take a lot of pride in the fact that I don't use glue or solder to hold the stones in place.  And I take huge pleasure in knowing that they won't ever just 'fall out' either. :))
