How to Wire Wrap a Crystal Point - "Halo" Crystal Pendant Tutorial

Somehow I keep ending up with a lot of Quartz crystal points. Usually the semi-rough ones with lots of character. Over the years they've become one of my favorite stones to wire wrap. I love coming up with new designs for them. I usually do a lot of weaving on them, but this time I decided to keep it simple. Tools and Supplies: 14 gauge wire 16 gauge wire (for optional coiled bail) Crystal point (1.5 to 2 inches long works best for this design) Any round object that is approximately 2" in diameter Heavy duty wire cutters Flat nose pliers 6mm or 7mm mandrel (or other round object that is the correct size) Flat needle file (or cup bur large enough for 14g wire) Hammer and bench block (optional) Find more of my tutorials at https://www.WireJewelryTutorials.com Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:30 Supplies 0:55 Setting the Crystal 4:17 Shaping the "Halo" 4:55 Cutting and Filing Bottom Wires 6:47 Hammering the "Halo" 8:33 Bail Option 1 - Knotted Cord 8:50 Bail Option 2 - Coiled Bail 12:40 Polishing Pendants
