Lantern pendant with large spherical stones without holes - jewelry making from copper wire
The original idea come from The artistic cloth lanterns, a cultural part of a small city near Da Nang - Vietnam (where I live).
When I finished, I saw it like a chestnut, At times it resembles a lollipop or balls Christmas decorations.
This pattern is suitable for spherical diameter of stones bigger 1cm. the bigger stone, the bigger the lantern
With this pattern you can use any wire type and wire size you have, as well as any tool you have.
This pattern can still be used with stones with holes
wire size to make pendant with diameter of stones 14 - 16mm
22 gauge ( wire diameter 0.6mm ) : 25cm( 10 inch)
28 gauge ( wire diameter 0.3mm ) : 50cm( 20 inch)
TIPS :
- Before doing, Always be sure to straighten the wire for a more beautiful product
- Can use a towel to straighten the wire.
- circle wire 2 helps to fix the petals, increase product durability
- Can be made from 6-8 petals
- Use the viking knit technique to wrapped stone
- Can be replaced with silver wire or gold wire for jewelry more valuable
Or simply use cheap material like copper wire to make gifts for friends, family or for yourself
- I just give way reference, not the best way. Can change size wire to suit your purpose. You can do better than me.
