Large Oval Cabochon Wire Weave Pendant Tutorial, Part 3 of 3 - FREE until 12/31, 2025!
Hi friends! This Membership tutorial is back by request! Learn to capture your larger oval cabochons in this gorgeous wire woven frame. This technique in Part 1 sets you up for bale-less pendant designs, such as Claudia pendant (free tutorial link below)... and it's also a great way to set up for a woven bracelet with a large cabochon focal stone. I use this technique on larger stones so that I can do bale-less designs... sometimes, the stones are so large that a traditional sized bale looks out of proportion. I solve this for myself by doing this type of design and just attaching chain to both back/side loops. You can embellish the chains to include beads and make it a complete necklace with a dedicated fancy chain. In Parts 2 and 3, I show how to do this too.
Enjoy all THREE PARTS of Clayton! I hope the technique is one that will help you along with being a gorgeous design.
Materials and Tools are listed in the first 10 to 20 seconds of all my videos.
This frame uses
3 x 16 inches of 18g round, soft, copper wires for the base frame.
14 feet of 28g weaving wire on-hand
My oval cabochon is 1.5 inches long x 1.25 inches wide and 4mm thick.
I do show how to accommodate for a thicker stone.
I did more than I thought I was going to do on this piece, but I love it and I hope you do also! Here is a link to Midway station if you're going to set a tiny gemstone at the bottom. I have pictures at the end of the video, if you need more, let me know.

There are a few added materials in the first 10 seconds.
I think I missed this gemstone tho, it's a 6mm Faceted Round Amethyst Cabochon gemstone that I set in Midway Station for the bottom.
Enjoy! Please ask questions if you have them.
Much love!
Claudia, smaller version of Clayton - Round stone but you can use oval too.
