IMPORTANT NOTE
This tutorial contains thorough instructions and an extensive visual display of clear photographs as it takes you through a STEP-BY-STEP process of how to make a pendant in this style. There is no holding back, everything is revealed.

Please note however, the complex nature of the pendant/style, combined with the step-by-step method of teaching it, means this tutorial is therefore lengthy as a consequence and should really be more aptly referred to as an e-book.

While step-by-step is obviously a more thorough method to teach something and definitely comes with many advantages, it also comes with disadvantages such as print length and some repetition as a few techniques are repeated on different areas of the pendant. Both of those disadvantages however, are relatively minor and will not concern the majority of serious jewellery makers.

Also it is important to note that prior knowledge of how to construct a Border Wrap Prong setting is preferred, as this setting is utilised in this tutorial as part of the construction process for this pendant.

The instruction for the Border Wrap Prong Setting is not repeated in this tutorial.

While knowledge of this setting is preferred, as it will enable you to follow the tutorial exactly, it is not essential and an alternative method is offered in that section of the tutorial.

If you are interested in learning the Border Wrap Prong setting, and include it in this tutorial, Tutorial 002 covers this instruction.
