My friend wanted my "Caged turquoise" necklase so I had to make something similar. But the resemblance betwwen them is only the material... same stones, same wires :) I new I want something assimetric, a big clasp which will be near the pendant... so I first made the parts of the clasp, then the pendant... the rest was only assebling :P
I haven´t done any wirework in the last few years. I had to produce something during the last workshop. This is really simple design, beacause it had to be easy-to-copy for the beginners ;)
And a quick & cheap trick: if you don´t have coiling tools on hand, don´t panic :) Just bend the end of the wire you want to cover with thin wire. Secure the thinner wire to this "winch". Start to twirl it. For easier use pull a big bead onto the wire so it will be comfortable to hold it. You can cover the wire in minutes ;)
