I've designed this technique to make it easy to wrap puffed stones, the wrap covers the tapered edges leaving no need for wires on the back to hold it in place. It will work great for puffed stones with tapered edges or thin flat stones. It's perfect for clear stones because there are no back wires. I love to use it on beads and drilled drops that I want to wrap without using the hole.
I've included an alternated ending that is there are instructions for 2 bails.
I think anyone can make this pendant but I'm going to call this an intermediate project. Knowledge and previous experience with jewelry wire and tools will make it a lot easier. Following the directions exactly your pendant will look like the one in the upper left corner of the first picture and the upper right corner of the second picture.
