Wrap an Inexpensive Tumblestone (Tumbled Gemstone) into a Wire Pendant, Free Tutorial by Jem Hawkes

For today's free wire jewellery tutorial, I'd like a share a technique I've developed especially for absolute beginners, to create a secure pendant for a tumbled gemstone.
Many of us purchase tumbled gems when we begin our interests in jewellery or crystals or gemstones for healing; they are an affordable introduction to gemstones and can begin a lifelong love for nature's beauty.
Tumbled gems, or tumblestones, are often unevenly formed, and I thought that they deserved their very own variation of a wire pendant cage, to accommodate their asymmetric nature.
Happy New Year 2022, may it bring you that which will benefit you, may you be blessed with love and balance in your life. Jem xxx

Thank you for explaining in depth. You have solved a dilemma for me. Warming the wire makes it wrap neater and tighter.

The BEST tutorial I've seen yet, and I especially appreciate your speaking about 'warming' those wires; not as complicated as I thought the construction would be and an elegant design to finish. I've got my top 5 to learn from, but you're the #1 spot. I have a lot of weirdly shaped tumble stones to play with and I'm off to try to do this. Thank you so much!

@roxannecoyne2744 7 месяцев назад

I did it!! I finally sat down to make this and it worked! I've tried wrapping pendants twice before, with less than stelllar results. This time, the stone wa perfectly nestled in its cradle and my wire wraps actually look decent. I referred to one of your earlier tutorials for the bail and I was able to put my own spin on the design for the final result. I added some loops and a little swirl at the base of the baiil. Thank you so much for your attention to detail, Jem. I was able to follow you quite well and of course, there's always the pause and rewind features to stop the presses when I got a little behind. @@JemHawkes 😊😊😊

@tantsotis Год назад

Absolute beginner here. Thank you for teaching. I suck, because I found this difficult. I managed to get the stone stuck, but the weaving parts look awful. Guess I'll have to look for something even more simple before I try this again.

@JemHawkes Год назад

I think picking up bits of wire and just playing, ,making coils, practicing wrapped loops and just getting a feel for wire will all help you learn and improve. Thanks for watching xxx

@tantsotis Год назад

@@JemHawkes Thank you kind Jem for the tip. Yes, you're absolutely right, I have no feeling for wire - yet! But after writing this, I continued with left over wire from the bail and played around, just like you said in the tutorial. Made some swirls, trying to follow the shape of the stone. It looks a lot better now, I hid some ugly weaving and the stone is stuck safely. For a first try I'm quite happy with it, so thank you again. 😀

Honestly I make 20 or 30 mistakes to o e piece I'm happy to share, practice will only help. Good.luck love xxx

@sheenaw6421 Год назад

Maybe it was a mistake to use an uneven stone for my first gem wrap but I am having a nightmare of a time with this. My results with the wire are nothing like the tutorials and I’ve made a mess of it all. This is not an easy thing to do.🤪

@JemHawkes Год назад

I think with wire wrapping, we are always learning (I know that I am), and we are also our own harshest critic. My ratio of end results that I like and keep is ... let's go with LOW ... for every piece I photograph to sell, there are a dozen (sometimes more) mangled messes that go in the recycle pot ... so please don't be discouraged. Please try again and be kind to yourself and your progress. There's no shame in cutting your gemstone free and starting again. Well ... if there is, then I am the MOST shamed, hah. Have a great day, and please know that my first tumble wrap was an obimination that was cut up. So was the second. Xxx
