Create a stunning bezel to capture a gemstone cabochon by learning to weave with wire. If you can wrap a wire around another one, you can master this timeless technique. The back side of the pendant features wire swirls to keep the stone secure, but it’s pretty enough to make this pendant reversible. Once you’ve made this bezel, never be intimidated again by complex designs. Fee payable with tuition $25.
