This is a great technique to incorporate tumbled stones and raw crystals into your designs for a more rustic look. Once you get this technique there will be so many projects you will be able to do.
For the earrings I used about 1 foot of 26 gauge gold wire, 2, 8mmx 4mm turquoise nugget beads and 2 earwires. For the pendant in the tutorial I used a 30mmx 20mm amazonite tumbled stone, and 1 1/2 feet of 24 gauge copper wire. For the tooth design I used a 30mmx10mm flame agate gemstone and 1 foot of silver wire.
You can used 20- 26 gauge wire for wrapping the stones matching the gauge to the size of your stone. Practically any stone will work for this project as long as it's slightly narrower on one side.
