Kit + PDF Tutorial - Manta ray pendant

PDF TUTORIAL + KIT 

'Manta ray pendant' 

In this tutorial, I will show you how create manta ray pendant. I will show you how to construct an outer frame with heavy-gauge wire which will be the main component for this design. You will then learn how to set a pear-shaped focal stone using a gallery setting, and how to add this setting to the frame. We will then create the inner detail and set accent stones before adding the finishing touches. 

This kit contains all the wires & gemstones needed to create this pendant. The focal stone I have used is a moss agateand the accent stones I have used are peridot, but other options are available. Please choose your preferred stones from the drop down menu.
