Filigree Christmas ornament - wire work tutorial
Hi Guys! In this tutorial I want to show you how to create wire filigree ornament (can also be a pendant or earrings) using undrilled diamond cut gemstones and wire (you can just use drilled beads instead if you don't have any or you are not comfortable with the technique. I will show you how to create the base shape, components and create the settings to secure your stones and how to finish your piece.
Component PDF to recreate the exact design in three sizes: Filigree component PDF
I have a stone setting PDF tutorial if you prefer written instructions: Weave library
